In the aftermath of Italy’s 1-1 draw against Croatia in Leipzig on Monday night, Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori had a unique opportunity to meet former Juventus and Italy defender, Leonardo Bonucci. Calafiori had made a significant contribution to Italy’s performance with an assist for Mattia Zaccagni, which led to the equalizer against Croatia.
The meeting between Calafiori and Bonucci took place at the Leipzig Stadium and was captured in a picture that was posted on Instagram by their agent, Alessandro Lucci. Lucci represents many footballers, including Bonucci, Calafiori, Mattia Perin, and Dejan Kulusevski who is now playing for Tottenham.
Rumors have been circulating that Juventus has expressed interest in signing Calafiori, but Bologna is holding out for a transfer fee of at least €50 million for the 22-year-old defender. In addition to Juventus, several Premier League clubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, and Newcastle have also shown interest in signing him.
As a product of the Roma academy, Calafiori’s potential move to Juventus or another top club could be a significant step in his career. His impressive performances and growing reputation have put him on the radar of top European clubs, and it will be exciting to see where he ends up in the near future.
