Riccardo Calafiori: Giovanni Sartori is adamant about Juventus hypothesis
John Sartori speaks out on Riccardo Calafiori’s future
On the occasion of the opening ceremony of the summer soccer market, the head of Bologna's technical area Giovanni Sartori, among the various topics discussed at the microphones of the various media, dwelt on the future of Riccardo Calafiori and on the rumors related to a possible move by the blue player to Juventus of Thiago Motta.
"There is talk about Juventus but also many other teams. Right now we will try to keep him. If important requests come, we will have to think about it, I am not saying we will give him away because; the president has exposed himself saying he wants to keep the whole team, but we will certainly make evaluations. I don’t think he will go to Juve, he will probably go in a different market, but I repeat that our priority is to try to keep him,” said the head of Bologna’s technical area.
"Calafiori did a great European Championship, too bad it didn't serve Italy to move forward in the tournament. Now let him rest and enjoy his vacation, then we will also see later with him what will happen in the market" added the Rossoblù executive.
In conclusion, Giovanni Sartori è also expressed himself regarding the future of Joshua Zirkzee: "In the case of Joshua, the conditions are not dictated by us, but by him, sinceè having this clause in his contract è free to leave until the expiration date. It won't be easy to keep him, in my opinion è one of the strongest players in Europe. The clause è high, forè there are teams that can afford him. If I had to give a percentage I would say that 99.9 percent will go away and we will have to replace him".
Both Zirkzee’s and Calafiori’s futures could be in the Premier League. On the Dutch center forward, for some time now, there would be the interest of Manchester United, while on the blue defender, as reported by Sky Sport, Arsenal would come forward.
