Well, yeah off course. However we/journo's won't know and during that time all that can be done is speculate.

We cant know the speculation, but Juve can officially sign Calafiori today and announce it if they like, but just have to wait til 1st July to get him.

Not very encouraging as it means there’s probably many other teams that are showing an interest in him, so as expected Bologna are trying to milk as much as possible out of it, however i still believe we got an advantage if the player really pushes to join us and the fact that including counterparts would be in everyone’s favor given the sell-on fee they got to deal with too.

I’ve been listening just now to the GJustJuve live from last night and according to the rumors he’s been reading it seems that it won’t be that simple to include counterparts in this deal as a means to reduce the sell-on clause to Basel because they supposedly have a counter clause that prevents them from being easily bypassed via a lower transfer fee + player swaps which complicates the affair and is why Bologna are pushing for something close to €50M for Calafiori, which is far from the €30M we were willing to offer.

Make what you want from it, but this sure doesn’t fill me with confidence in regards to concluding this deal anytime soon.

Depends on how he fares at the Euro’s too i guess, maybe not necessarily €50M but i can easily imagine a bidding war with some PL clubs going over the €35M mark at the very least.
I doubt that to be honest. He doesn't seem to be a fixed starter for Spalletti to begin with. Top clubs will not consider him as they target players like Bremer if they want to reinforce their defense. Also, I think Calafiori would much rather go to us than to some midtable PL side.

We'll close at 30 million + bonuses (maybe include a counterpart).

We must close this deal.

He won't get many minutes at the Euros.

That’d be ideal, but as mentioned before it does seem that it will be slightly more complicated than initially thought to conclude this one, we’ll see how it goes.
