Riccardo Calafiori - D LC - Bologna (112 Viewers)

[Alin]

cambiaso will do that shit. we need a backup for him, which can be danilo, a next gen dude or some low budget new purchase, i don't mind.

calafiori is too good of a cb to be played outside of position. i think we've seen enough of that too.

I’d also prefer to see him mainly as a CB but who knows, could ocasionally cover at LB too… was kind of assuming that for now Cambiaso is probably our best bet at RB also, either way we will need at least one starting quality RB or LB to make it work.

In Motta's system, this is the one guy from Bologna that Juve absolutely have to get.

The CB'S are so vital in the attack in the 2-7-2 ( Can't believe im.saying 2-7-2)

Gatti goes forward too

Not nearly as well and does not have the pace like Califiori to track back

I was just kidding haha. I can't stand Gatti and I hope he's sold for a profit soon.

Sounds like done deal. Good job if so.

More so, doesn't have the passing range and precision and vision. I know it was just a joke but these traits are hard to come by on a CB. Bonucci had it but... I am too tired to explain something everyone knows. Bastoni or some drilled for months-and-months by Pep.

makes me wonder why or if theyre willing to sell Huijsen, as hes tailor made for Mottas system, more so than anyone we have.

Who's to say that we will sell him.

I dont think we have made this kind of investment in Motta without him having some say in who stays.

Giuntoli has just completed a clean sweep and brought his own people.

Rumors are abound that Motta was the guy he wanted since the beginning of the year.

I wonder if Bologna would be more inclined willing to accept a lower bid given that Basel has 40% sell-on clause(what a weird deal)

I mean if they sell for €40M straight cash, they get only €24M.

Rather I think they'd be better off accepting a smaller fee and getting one of our youth players in return I suppose...?

If it's legal (in terms of their deal with Basel) then a part-ex seems a lot more likely.

Good article on how Calafiori plays almost as a futuristic libero.

i wrote this about the same topic a few days ago:

if basel is about to receive 40-50% of anything above 4m then watch us (or any eventual italian buyer) get him at a relatively tolerable price, and overpay for an other bologna player

Our next signing after Di Gregorio imo.

Then we need to get our midfielders and fullbacks sorted.

Fuckin pumped for this mercato. The most interesting and vital we’ve had since 2012 imo.

Last exciting mercato was probably 2018 but that eventually ended in disaster

Di Gregorio and Calafiori is exactly the type of players we should target. Good age, can develop and take steps forward, ok salary.

The best keeper this season, and one of the best defenders, IMO the best.

This is how we will build a great Juve, not expensive old players, bosman deals with high salaries.

I really hope we close both deals for De Gregorio and Calafiori fast.

That would be fantastic but then I'll worry we get investigated for Capital gains or something.
