Reports of interest from Tottenham and Real Madrid

 

[Bjerknes]

If Real Madrid is seriously in for Calafiori then we can close this thread.

If it's the likes of Spurs and Chelsea, then we should be fine. We'll eventually get him.

But if Real Madrid are in the running, it would probably be hard to reject them.

Although they do have Militao coming back, Rudiger is a mainstay in their defense. There's Nacho and Alaba too. So he would be nothing more than a bench player for the first 2 seasons at least as opposed to being a sure shot starter in Motta's JJ.

 

[Bjerknes]

Real also will probably sign Yoro.

 

[Kevster]

is he better than bonucci was at his age?

 

[Xperd]

I think eventually, giving someone like Huijsen in return might unlock the deal.

He has better hair

I think only his ass tackling is worse

 

[s4tch]

just give them rugani + cash. much more ready for cl football than huijsen

 

[petszata]

They want Barbieri , we can gift them him + any random guy like Barranchea+ Gonzalez + 20m

 

[Bjerknes]

is he better than bonucci was at his age?

I think so.

 

[Kevster]

I think so.

him and bremer can be a good foundation.

I see we still haven't addressed the gaping hole in midfield

Hopefully Motta can get locatelli to be able to pass a ball forward and fagioli can continue growing

I think that's too big of a jump for him right now. If he had aspirations of playing at an elite club like Real Madrid, he'd probably take the de Ligt route --- establish yourself at a club at this level before making the jump to the biggest club in the world.

Well, it wasn't too big of a jump for Camavinga and Tchouameni. But as someone else said it's a lot of competition so hopefully Calafiori does come here.

That's a little different, where they're playing in the midfield after a departing Casemiro and aging Kroos/Modric where they're going to save their legs. Those guys were going to get minutes every game with a bunch of starts mixed in. Camavinga even got starts at LB.

Not too many coaches love subbing out CBs in game. It's tough breaking into a lineup and getting consistent minutes for a team that won La Liga/Champions League and will have Rudiger, Militao, and Alaba returning next year.

Would that be a better choice for his development over going to a club like Juventus to continue his development for 2-3 years before making that jump? I dont know. I guess it depends on who you ask.

And of course, this is all hypothetical nonsense speculation. We have no clue if he's even on Real Madrid's radar, or if Calafiori has any interest in leaving Italy now or in the future. I'd bet my money on him playing in Serie A next year, and moving forward.

If we give Bologna players for him how does that work in terms of Basel getting 50%?

take away his phone until he signs
