Real Madrid Interested in Bologna Defender Riccardo Calafiori

Spanish football giants Real Madrid are reportedly eyeing a move for Bologna‘s promising defender Riccardo Calafiori during this summer’s transfer window. The 22-year-old center-back has been garnering attention from several top clubs, with Real Madrid emerging as one of the potential suitors.

According to sources, Calafiori, who is valued at around €30 million, has impressed scouts with his performances and potential. Real Madrid, known for their financial prowess in the transfer market, could be in a position to meet Bologna’s valuation for the young Italian talent.

While the La Liga champions have been linked with other defensive targets like Leny Yoro, Calafiori’s versatility and potential make him an appealing option for the club. The Italian defender’s ability to operate at left-back adds to his value as a potential long-term asset for Real Madrid.

If a deal materializes, Calafiori could benefit from the developmental environment at Real Madrid, under the guidance of manager Carlo Ancelotti. The Spanish giants have a history of nurturing young talent, and Calafiori’s potential could see him flourish at the club.

Real Madrid’s pursuit of Calafiori comes amid their need to bolster their defensive ranks for the upcoming season, having faced injury woes in the previous campaign. The addition of a promising talent like Calafiori could provide the necessary depth and quality in defense for the club.
