Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing the Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori, who will cost €25 million.
A report by Gazzetta dello Sport via Sport Witness has claimed that Riccardo Calafiori will cost €25 million in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are prepared to pay the asking price for the 21-year-old.
Calafiori is highly rated in Italy, and he has a bright future ahead of himself. He could develop into a key player for Tottenham in the coming seasons, and Spurs are among the front-runners for his signature.
The defender has the ability to develop into a top-class Premier League defender with the right guidance, and Tottenham could help him fulfil his tremendous potential. The reported €25 million asking price seems quite reasonable for a player of his abilities, and Calafiori could easily justify the outlay in the coming seasons.
The Italian defender will be tempted to join a big club capable of winning trophies, and Tottenham have an exciting project. Spurs are closing in on a top-four finish this season, and they will be able to compete in the UEFA Champions League next season.
The Italian defender will certainly fancy his chances of competing in Europe with them. Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has recently confirmed that the club are looking for another central defender, and the 21-year-old could be an interesting investment for them.

A move to the Premier League will certainly be an exciting step up for the young defender, and the Australian manager could help him improve as a player. Tottenham could provide him with the platform to showcase his abilities in England and European football.
If the North London outfit can sign him for €25 million in the summer and help him fulfil his tremendous potential, the transfer could look like a master stroke in the long term. Tottenham have done well to sign Micky van de Ven and Radu Dragusin for reasonable fees, and they should look to build and improve their squad in a sustainable manner during the summer transfer window as well.
