La Premier League wants to go shopping again in A leagueThis time the English giants are heading towards Emilia-Romagna and aiming to stock up on purchases in the renowned Bologna boutique, which last season showcased two truly precious jewels: Riccardo Calafiori e Joshua Zirkzee. Under 23 talents who are making half of Europe’s heads spin. The centre-back was one of the very few Italian players to shine and even emerge revalued from the Azzurri shipwreck at Euro 2024.
Super performances that have sparked the interest of the English big clubs. With all due respect to Juventus who had already moved well in advance in February to bring him to Continassa. The Bianconeri thought they could get him for 25-30 million after having reached a basic agreement with the player’s entourage for a five-year deal worth 2.5 million per season. No way. Juventus’ proposals had already been rejected by the duo at the end of the championship. Sartori-Di Vaio. Saputo’s club, in fact, now wants 50 million to let go of the 2002-born defender. It should also be remembered that 50% of the proceeds goes to Basel.
