While the departure of Thiago Motta has already been announced and the formalization of his arrival on the Juventus bench is only a matter of hours, the Piedmontese club continues to be closely linked daily in Bologna, a nice surprise of the season in Serie A with this historic qualification for the Champions League after 49 years of waiting. Great architect of this beautiful epic, the Italian defender, Riccardo Calafiori, attracted the spotlight this year as well as great covetousness. According to our information, Juventus has a verbal agreement with the young Italian prodigy who could well follow Thiago Motta to the Old Lady, considering him as one of his great protégés.
In addition, according to our indiscretions, FC Basel, the Italian’s former team, is following the matter very closely because the Swiss club has a resale clause estimated at 40% if the amount of Riccardo’s departure transaction Calafiori exceeds 4 million euros. A price which should be greatly exceeded given the growing market value of the 22-year-old player. Author of a flamboyant season with 33 matches played, 2 goals scored and 5 assists delivered, Riccardo Calafiori is even part of Luciano Spalletti’s expanded list of 30 players for the upcoming Euro 2024. He is also one of three nominated for the title of best defender of the year in Italy.
