In the European Championship, the Italian international Calafioli is like a bright star, attracting countless eyeballs. His performance, which was eye-catching, managed to catch the attention of Liverpool, and Arsenal and Juventus also took aim at him.
Bologna's side are still a bit of a bit of a pain in the face of Juventus, whose manager Thiago Motta was poached by Juventus. So, they prefer to sell Calafioli to clubs in England. Arsenal are also interested in Calafioli but they may need to see what happens from Jakubu Kivir, who is also within range of Juventus and AC Milan.
The 22-year-old is a versatile player. His main position is centre-back, but he can also play at left-back. He played in this position during his time at Roma and Basel. Liverpool's sporting director, Chad Hughes, is a die-hard fan of the lad. He has been following him since his time at Bournemouth.
Liverpool could bring in a left-footed centre-back this summer. According to the Mirror, Bologna have given Liverpool the go-ahead to submit an offer. Chelsea are also looking to strengthen their defence, although the addition of Calafioli could lead to the departure of a player. Levi Colwill is not in the transfer market and a bid for Benoit Badiashle is still a possibility.
West Ham are also fans of Calafiori. Bologna have come to terms with the loss of the Italian phenom and will ask for a huge transfer fee, which could exceed US$50 million (£40 million), with Basel entitled to 40% of the transfer fee of more than US$6.32 million (£5 million).
There have been reports that Real Madrid are not interested in him, but Bologna's sporting director Marco Di Vaio is still hoping that Calafiori's performances in Germany will increase his market value. Juventus are leading the chase and could be the favourites to win the tournament and Bologna are ready to fight hard to keep their star. Murillo also made inquiries about the star, catching the attention of Nottingham Forest.
Calafiori's contract expires in the summer of 2028 and Bologna are in no hurry to sell him, ensuring that any transfer is made strictly on their terms.
All parties are thinking about how to bring him under their command, and Calafiori's future will also be revealed in the vicissitudes of the transfer market.
