AliousAC Milan’s pursuit of a central defender during the upcoming transfer window has led them to previously express interest in Riccardo Calafiori.
However, their chances of securing the Italian defender’s services may be slim due to emerging Premier League interest.
Navigating the market for central defenders, particularly within the Italian landscape, has proven challenging for the Rossoneri, as evident in their pursuit of Alessandro Buongiorno.
Calafiori, a player Milan have been previously linked with and rumored to target this summer, has caught the attention of the club.
However, they will face stiff competition, especially after the young defender’s impressive performance in Italy’s opening match at the European Championship, where he showcased maturity beyond his years.
While Milan and Juventus have expressed interest from within Italy, Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as a formidable Premier League contender for Calafiori’s signature.
According to DAZN journalist Orazio Accomando (via Milan News 24), Tottenham have inquired about the possibility of a deal with Bologna, the player’s current club, and his entourage.
Although Juventus may have initially been in pole position for Calafiori’s transfer, the possibility of a lucrative offer from the Premier League outfit could shift the dynamics of the chase.
As AC Milan seeks to strengthen their defensive ranks, they find themselves in a challenging pursuit, with Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Calafiori adding an extra layer of complexity to an already competitive market for central defenders, both within Italy and abroad.
