Juventus have been tipped to go after Riccardo Calafiori, who has been superb since joining Bologna. However, they’d have to empty their coffers to get him. The Rossoblù have set a €30M price tag, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays (via Radio Sportiva).
The Bianconeri would likely need to collect money through sales to get to that kind of sum. They might receive a large offer for Gleison Bremer, whom Manchester United identified as an ideal reinforcement.
The Brazilian is under contract till 2028, and a renewal is in the works, but the club could be open for business for extremely wealthy bids and would quickly re-invest part of it to sign Calafiori.
Bremer joined the Old Lady in a €44M move quickly after the departure of Matthijs De Ligt. He has accumulated 68 appearances in the past season and a half, scoring 7 times. He has three caps with Brazil.
The Bianconeri will likely add to their rearguard regardless. They also have cheaper names on their radar, such as Atletico Madrid’s Reinildo, RB Salzburg’s Strahinja Pavlovic, and Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly.
Our Take on Juventus, Calafiori, and Bremer
While it might be true that nobody is truly untouchable at certain numbers, as the Sandro Tonali case testifies, it’d be better to draw the line at some point. The Old Lady needs cornerstones if they want to start a new cycle. Bologna might no longer be a feeder club if they qualify for a European competition.
