Everyone’s crazy about the jewels of Bologna, we could say. In this transfer market session, which has not yet formally begun, there already seems to be a lot of external interest for those who have achieved a historic milestone in the recently concluded season: access to the Champions League. One of these, inevitably, is Riccardo Calafiori: the class of 2002 has amazed his performances on the pitch, and continues to do so also in the national team, after Italy’s debut against Albania. His name is at the center of numerous rumours, with Bologna however having no intention of depriving themselves of their number 33.
Bologna transfer market – Tottenham also on Riccardo Calafiori
There is news this afternoon of another candidate for the window for Riccardo Calafiori in this transfer market session. The Tottenhamespecially after Saturday night’s match, seems to have set its sights on the Rossoblù defender, according to the journalist from DAZN, Orazio Accomando. The London club, again according to Accomando, would have tested the waters both with the player’s entourage and with Bologna, to evaluate the feasibility of the operation. After Juventus – which seems to be the one with the most pressure – and Chelsea, therefore, another team is on the list to acquire the Bologna defender. Bologna, which, we remember, considers Calafiori untransferable, as reiterated several times by Claudio Fenucci.
Bologna, Calafiori’s performances will attract more and more interests
As said previously, Bolognain this transfer market session, he has no intention of depriving himself of Riccardo Calafiori. The defender born in 2002 has a long contract – whose salary can certainly be adjusted upwards – and, to date, no official requests have arrived. Clearly, with these performances, more and more attention will be paid to Riccardo: the boy has shown that he has what it takes, and it is legitimate that he could be of interest to top teams. But Bologna, this season, has shown that they believe in the boy and that they want to return to being one of those teams, the ones that aim big. The more Calafiori’s performances are these and, in reality, the more legitimate Bologna’s request, in this case, will be: there was talk of a possible valuation of 50 million by the Rossoblù, also given the 40% percentage to be paid to Basel.
The Bologna game
In addition to the fact that such an evaluation is legitimate for a defender who is only 22 years old and who has shown that he can only improve, all the hype around the boy is part of the transfer market game. A game that Bologna knows well and knows how to make its own. Obviously the player is untransferable for the club: it is the true thought of the club, because he knows what he has in his hands and, to remain at high levels, players like this are needed. But the market teaches – especially in Italy – that there are essential offers. And, if Calafiori continues at these levels in this European Championship, it is inevitable that Bologna, due to a possible request, may raise the price even further.
The same goes for a possible transfer request from the boy: with such a long contract, Bologna can make the boy happy, but on their own terms. In the transfer market, three of us need to be happy, we repeat, and Bologna has no intention of emerging from this session dissatisfied, whatever the situation..
