Journalist says Juventus must ‘watch out’ for potential Spurs bid for Italian international
According to DAZN journalist Orazio Accomando, Tottenham Hotspur have now sought information about Riccardo Calafiori ahead of a potential move for the Bologna defender.
Calafiori has had an extremely impressive first season in Bologna after his switch from Swiss club FC Basel last summer, emerging as one of the best young defenders in the Serie A.
The versatile left-footer, who can operate at left-back as well as centre-back, started in Italy’s Euro 2024 opener against Albania over the weekend, helping the Azzurri emerge with a 2-1 win.
The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham all summer, with CaughtOffside reporting just a few days ago that Ange Postecoglou‘s side are one of several clubs monitoring the player’s situation.
Accomando has now taken to social media to reveal that the Lilywhites have reached out to Bologna and Calafiori’s entourage to seek information about a potential summer deal.
He explains that Juventus have been working on a deal for the centre-back for some time and are still ahead of Spurs in the race.
However, the journalist adds that the Bianconeri now need to watch out and be wary of a potential offer from Tottenham for the Bologna stopper.

Calafiori would be perfect for Spurs, given that he is left-footed and can also operate at left-back. He would also be less expensive than some of Tottenham’s other mooted centre-back targets such as Jarrad Branthwaite and Jean-Clair Todibo.
With Micky van de Ven, Radu Dragusin and Cristian Romrero already at the club, some defenders will not fancy the move to Tottenham due to the existing quality in the position and the prospect of limited game time.
