Juventus aim to close move for Bologna’s Riccardo Calafiori | OneFootball

Serie A giants Juventus are aiming to close a move for Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori as soon as they can.

Daniele Longo has reported about Juve’s interest in the Italian, who has been linked with the Bianconeri in recent days. Juve already have an agreement with Thiago Motta and Lazio winger Felipe Anderson and their next target is Calafiori, for who they want to close a deal soon.

Club sporting director Cristiano Guintoli is working hard to land Calafiori and first contact has been made between the two parties, with the defender having given his approval to a move to the Bianconeri. Guintoli now wants to work with Bologna to find an agreement over a transfer fee, with the Rossoblu’s demand currently at €20 million and €25 million.

While Napoli are also interested in the former Roma defender, Juve are well in pole position to sign him and he is now their priority.
