Liverpool supporters have a good reason to get excited, as famous football journalist Fabrizio Romano shares big news about the team getting closer to sign Ricardo Calafiori.
The club from Merseyside has agreed on terms with the skilled Italian player. Yet, getting him from Bologna might be hard because of problems caused by Thiago Motta going to Juventus.
Motta’s switch to Juventus has created significant tension between Juventus and Bologna.
Bologna is particularly displeased with how Motta transitioned to Juventus, adding a layer of difficulty to any negotiations involving these clubs.
Despite these complications, Bologna is acutely aware that if Calafiori continues his impressive performances—having already shone in Serie A and now at the Euro—they might secure a higher transfer fee by selling him abroad.
Liverpool, along with other Premier League teams, is very interested in this 22-year-old defender.
They are looking hard for young and talented players like Calafiori to make their defense stronger.

At the Euro, he continued to impress, notably during Italy’s 2-1 comeback victory over Albania, showcasing his defensive prowess and maturity beyond his years.
Despite the hefty price tag likely attached to him this summer, Liverpool’s willingness to invest in talents like Calafiori and French prodigy Leny Yoro indicates their readiness to make significant moves in the transfer market.
The potential addition of Calafiori to Liverpool’s squad could provide the defensive reinforcement required to strengthen their backline, adding depth and versatility.
While the negotiations between Bologna and Juventus remain complicated, Liverpool’s interest in Calafiori demonstrates their ambition to secure high-potential young talents.
This interest comes amid a broader strategy to rejuvenate their squad with players who can deliver consistent performances at both domestic and international levels.
