Bologna meet Rugani’s agent as Calafiori nears Arsenal | OneFootball

Bologna met with Davide Torchia, the agent of Juventus defender Daniele Rugani, at their Casteldebole training ground as they continue exploring a possible summer deal.

The Rossoblu have been trying to sell Riccardo Calafiori to Arsenal for a number of weeks now and have recently hit a roadblock, having a €10m difference between valuation and offer. Due to the 40-50% future resale clause, Bologna want at least €50m in cash for the talented defender.

Arsenal’s latest offer for Calafiori sits at €54m but seemingly includes a number of add-ons and bonuses, having a lower fixed fee. For now, no deal has been agreed and Calafiori has been called up for the pre-season training camp, but a move still appears likely.

Bologna look to Rugani

Gianluca Di Marzio details how Bologna want to quickly replace Calafiori once they’ve completed the deal with Arsenal and have started targeting Juventus veteran Rugani as a possible replacement.

The 29-year-old’s agent Torchia met with the Rossoblu directors at their Casteldebole training ground on Thursday morning, where the two parties discussed the margins of a deal.
