Riccardo Calafiori has drawn the attention of the top clubs thanks to his great season at Bologna, where he developed into a top-shelf center-back after starring on the wing earlier in his career. On the other hand, it’ll take a significant sum to sign him because of the conditions of his previous transfer, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
The Felsinei didn’t pay much for him, €4M, but Basel will be entitled to 40 percent of the fee when he leaves. Therefore, the Rossoblù necessitate a major offer to cash in properly, or it wouldn’t be worth their trouble.
Calafiori is being eyed in particular by Tottenham, Juventus, Milan, and Napoli. The Bianconeri have been keeping tabs on him for a while but haven’t gained the inside track to snare him. The Spurs have often shopped in Italy in recent years.
Bologna are open to getting some players in return. They’d be able to finagle his evaluation with that type of deal. The 21-year-old has dished 3 assists in 32 appearances across all competitions this campaign. He had played four times with Basel before returning to Italy.
Our Take on Calafiori
The Rossoblù have surely leaned a lot on peculiar formulas, probably because they didn’t have that much to spend. It’s an interesting tidbit, but the main dominos are whether Thiago Motta will stay or where he’ll go, perhaps bringing somebody with him, and how many linchpins they’ll be able to keep if they qualify for the Champions League.
