Earlier this week, Tuttosport reported Tottenham Hotspur will face competition from Arsenal in the chase for Bologna star Riccardo Calafiori.
The centre-back’s impressive displays for the Serie A side saw him make his debut for Italy earlier this month. He’s since played the full 90 minutes in the three group stage games at the Euros.
Calafiori scored an own goal in Italy’s 1-0 defeat to Spain but redeemed himself against Croatia, by assisting Mattia Zaccagni’s late equaliser. This was vital for Azzurri to progress to the knockout stage.
A fresh report from Tuttosport claims Tottenham and Arsenal can present tempting offers to sign him in the summer window.
Tutto Juve backs up Tottenham and Arsenal’s interest in the defender, and add that they ‘can offer more’ than the Turin club to sign him.
Journalist Matteo Moretto took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to state that Bologna believe it’s ‘almost impossible’ to retain Calafiori and have already started searching for his successor.
With Juve and the Premier League keen, Moretto says there could be an auction in the ‘next few weeks’. There will be more clarity on Calafiori’s future after the Euros.
