Mazzata Juve, no Calafiori: Bologna and Spalletti’s national team defender enters the sights of a rival of the Bianconeri. Triple technical quid pro quo to close deal
Open clash in Serie A for Bologna’s jewels. Yes, because if for Zirkzee AC Milan is having difficulties because of the agents’ exaggerated demands on commissions, now it is Juventus that is failing to close for Riccardo Calafiori.
The Emiliani defender, who with Thiago Motta on the bench had a season that to call extraordinary is putting it mildly, is one of Cristiano Giuntoli’s top targets for next season. The cost of the player’s card is 35million euros-a figure that the Turin sides would like to lower. But in all this, according to the latest information, there is also a strong interest of AC Milan. The Rossoneri, who are also in need of renewal at the back, want to try the assault on that element that Bologna obviously would not want to give up, but that Di Vaio himself, the sporting director, knows just as well that it will be difficult, if not impossible to keep. It is a matter, in short.
Mazzata Juve, triple quid pro quo for Calafiori
We were saying, then: Calafiori has entered Milan’s crosshairs and they want to get him almost at any cost. So much so that Ibrahimovic has in mind the inclusion of a technical quid pro quo in order to lower the cost of the tag, mainly, and then above all to try to convince Bologna to sell him right to the Rossoneri.
There are three elements that could be put on the plate: we start with Pobega, a midfielder; Colombo, a striker; and Florenzi, a defender. It will be up to Di Vaio, together with new coach Vincenzo Italiano, to decide whether someone could be useful to the cause or it would be appropriate to drop everything and focus only on cash income. However, in all this Milan is there, also because Calafiori last summer before his transfer to Bologna had been mentioned to the Rossoneri who wanted him as a deputy Theo Hernandez. Then we all know, and it is good for Italy as well, how it turned out.
