Reports suggest Spurs and Arsenal are now leading the race for 22-year-old

Many Italian outlets are now reporting that Riccardo Calafiori is more likely to end up at Tottenham or Arsenal than Juventus this summer.

Tottenham and Arsenal both like Riccardo Calafiori

This includes a fresh report from Tuttosport, who claim that the two North London clubs are big admirers of Calafiori and could soon present offers to land the centre-back.

The report points out that while Juventus are also interested in the Bologna star, they do not quite have the finances to compete with the two Premier League clubs.

As a result, it is asserted that the Bianconeri have already started looking at the other options in the market.

Juventus may not be able to afford Calafiori

This information is backed up by Tutto Juve, who say that both Spurs and the Gunners ‘can offer more’ than the Turin club to sign the Italy international.

Finally, journalist Matteo Moretto has revealed on social media that Bologna are of the belief that it will be ‘almost impossible’ to keep hold of Calafiori this summer.

He says that the Serie A side have already started looking for a successor for the centre-back and they expect an auction to break out for the 22-year-old in the ‘next few weeks’.

With Italy now knocked out of the Euros, one would expect there to be more clarity on Calafiori’s future over the coming days.

The interest in the centre-back is likely to intensify and it remains to be seen if the Spurs will get involved in the bidding war.
