The Bologna centre back is wanted by a host of clubs - most notably Arsenal - as well as Real Madrid, Chelsea, Bayer Leverkusen and Juventus.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen is interested in Riccardo Calafiori, but since FC Bologna has to give 50% of the transfer proceeds to FC Basel, the defender would be similarly expensive to Le Normand.

Bayer Leverkusen has shown interest in Riccardo Calafiori, but the player has prioritized Juventus over Bayer Leverkusen.

Recently, emissaries from Bayer Leverkusen moved, who have viewed him at the Dall'Ara even three times.

Juventus is ready to make the decisive step for Riccardo Calafiori. The defender of Bologna is certainly one of the most representative players of the team of Thiago Motta, one step away from qualifying for the next Champions League. He is well known to the rossoblù coach who in the season has engaged his player in 32 games between the championship and Coppa Italia. The player has been targeted by the bianconera company since January, which could win the auction that has broken out. On him, in fact, there would not only be the bianconeri but Bayer Leverkusen and Tottenham but the boy, reports today's edition of Tuttosport, would like the Turin destination fascinated by the project presented at Continassa and we would be going towards the much awaited white smoke.

Riccardo Calafiori is certainly flattered by such interest from Bayer Leverkusen but has already reiterated that he wants to give absolute priority to Juventus.

The Roman defender has attracted the attention of numerous foreign clubs, in particular Bayer Leverkusen and Tottenham who have followed him several times live and promoted him with full marks.

Bayer Leverkusen's ambitions for the next season are clear and, after the confirmation of Xabi Alonso and Florian Wirtz, the goal is to strengthen for ambitious targets also in Champions, after this year's Bundesliga victory. For this, the Germans will need to further strengthen. Calafiori is a profile very welcome to the Spanish coach, also considering his previous experience abroad. Bologna will owe 20% in case of sale of the 2002 player. It is noteworthy that - as reported by Bild - this is not the only name evaluated by Leverkusen, who is also looking at the profile of Rafa Marin (also 2002), owned by Real Madrid and currently on loan at Deportivo Alaves.

Bayer Leverkusen, after recently winning their first ever Bundesliga, are looking for potential reinforcements to add to the team coached by Xabi Alonso. The club's attention is currently focused on a new player for the defense, Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna. However, the management of Bologna does not intend to sit and listen to offers that are less than 25 million euros.

The Bayer scouts are also on the road in Italy. A central defender is interesting at FC Bologna: left-footed Riccardo Calafiori (21), in which Juventus Turin is also interested. The junior national player of Italy had come at the beginning of the season for four million euros from FC Basel. Market value today: 25 million euros.
