Liverpool have already enquired about Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori, who is of interest to several clubs Transfers

Liverpool, who have been working to secure a new centre-back for the future alongside Ibrahima Konate and Jarell Quansah since the Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk era, have shown interest in a young defender with a proven track record in Europe.

While a number of centre-back names have surfaced and disappeared, a new name has emerged.

According to The Athletic, Liverpool are also eyeing Italian defender Riccardo Calafioli, who is at Bologna, and have already made contact in order to explore a possible deal.

In addition, English sides such as Newcastle United, Brighton, West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur are also interested, with a fierce race for the player. Former Bologna coach Thiago Motta, who has taken over at Juventus, is also targeting him.

The 22-year-old left-back has made 37 appearances for Bologna, who have made a huge leap forward this season, finishing fifth in Serie A. He has also been selected for Italy’s EURO 2024 squad and the 22-year-old left-back has shown steady improvement.

Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the transfer market, has revealed the fact that the player and Juventus have agreed on contractual terms, but has also said that an agreement between the clubs is facing a difficult phase.

“Thiago Motta and Ricardo Calafiori already agreed on personal terms with Juventus weeks ago but between Juventus and Bologna the situation is complicated,”

“First of all, because Bologna were not so happy with how Motta joined Juventus. So the situation is quite tense between the two clubs. Also because Bologna believe that if the player can keep performing like this after a fantastic season at Serie A, and now at the Euros, maybe they can sell him abroad for bigger money.”
