Bologna’s Director, Giovanni Sartori, has indicated that Premier League clubs are expected to make offers for Riccardo Calafiori. Sartori stated, “I think he will NOT end up joining Juventus,” suggesting that the Italian defender is more likely to move abroad if a sale is decided.
Potential Move Abroad
Sartori mentioned the club’s preference to retain Calafiori but acknowledged the possibility of an international transfer. “Probably he can go abroad, in case we decide to sell him,” he added. This comes amidst interest from top English clubs, with Chelsea and Arsenal reportedly eyeing the 21-year-old for defensive reinforcement.
Previous Interest from Juventus
Earlier reports had linked Calafiori with a move to Juventus, who had prioritised his signing. However, Sartori’s recent comments suggest that a transfer to the Turin-based club is now unlikely.
