Juventus is not the only club on Calafiori’s trail, the Bologna defender is also popular in the Premier League.
The Juventus market is already in full swing and the first official announcements could arrive over the next week. By Gregory And Douglas Luiz they seem destined to wear the Juve shirt for next season, but among the club’s targets there are still many other important players. Giuntoli is working to deliver to Thiago Motta the best possible squad for next season, with the aim of returning to winning ways as soon as possible.
One of the first names on the club’s list is definitely Riccardo Calafiori, a defender who has proven to be one of the greatest Italian talents around. The central defender strongly wants Juventus, as much as Juventus wants him. However, Bologna is in no hurry or need to sell and is intent on making a move for the player.

Juve, watch out for Calafiori: Chelsea is interested
Riccardo Calafiori seems to have already found a agreement with Juventus, based on a contract expiring in 2029 for 2.2 million per season. Bologna at least asks 40 million for his price taghaving to give 50% of the proceeds to Basel, who had secured half of his price tag for future resale.
The Bianconeri will try to cushion the request of the rossoblù club by inserting some technical counterparts in the proposal, but the negotiation will certainly not be easy. The Bianconeri trust in the will of the player, who seems convinced of following Thiago Motta in this new adventure, but we will have to be careful of the sirens coming from the most important championship in the world.
As reported by Nicolò Schira on his account Xin fact, in the stands of Dortmund there was a Chelsea scout to observe Calafiori’s performance. The blues seem to be very interested in the player, who enjoys great admiration from the new coach, Maresca.
An ambitious player like Calafiori will at least be honored by the interest of a big Premier club like Chelsea, but Juventus should remain his priority. Now the young Italian defender is busy with his first big appointment with the national team, then he will make the best decision for his future.
