Riccardo Calafiori is one of the young defenders in Serie A and has caught the attention of Juventus.
He is one of the players that Thiago Motta evolved at Bologna and is expected to arrive at a bigger club in the coming seasons.
Juventus have been inspired by Calafiori’s performances this season and are keen to add him to their squad this summer.
They are aware that it will be expensive to sign him, but it is also conceivable that he will leave Serie A.
According to a report from Football Italia, Calafiori is now being tracked through Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen, who won the Bundesliga.
Alonso will remain at the club for another season and Bayer Leverkusen are in a position to give their full support to their squad.
Calafiori is one of their targets, given his remarkable form in Serie A.
Juventus now face a tougher challenge in convincing Calafiori to sign up for them instead of Leverkusen, as the German club is an attractive option for young professionals.
Juve FC says
Leverkusen’s interest shows that Calafiori is a player we deserve to do everything we can to add to our squad.
