According to a report in TuttoJuve (as relayed by JuveFC), it is not yet a given that Bologna will put rumoured Tottenham target Riccardo Calafiori up for sale next summer.
Calafiori’s stock has grown substantially over the last six months, with the centre-back having been a revelation since his switch from Basel to Bologna last summer.
With Tottenham making it a habit of raiding the Serie A for the best-emerging talent over recent years, unsurprisingly, the Lilywhites are thought to be also sniffing around the 21-year-old.
Over the last couple of weeks, various outlets have claimed that Ange Postecoglou’s men could battle Juventus for the centre-back (Oggi Sport Notizie).
A few days ago, Calciomercato.it even suggested that Tottenham are currently in the ‘front row’ to land the defender, who is expected to cost between €16m-€20m (£13.6m-£17m) next summer.
Bologna may not choose to sell Riccardo Calafiori
TuttoJuve now shed light on the Bianconeri’s pursuit of Calafiori, stating that the Old Lady are expected to bid for the Italy Under-21 international next summer.
However, it is explained that their pursuit of the centre-back might not prove straightforward as it is not guaranteed that Bologna would put the player up for sale.
In fact, the publication asserts that should Thiago Motta’s men qualify for any European competition next season, Calafiori will remain at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.
Spurs Web Opinion
Bologna currently sits fifth in the Serie A and seem to be favourites to at least qualify for the Europa Conference League if they fail to make it into the Europa League.
However, even if they qualify for Europe, there is no doubt that Calafiori will have a price. Bologna are unlikely to be in a position to turn down offers around the £25m mark.
