Juventus is currently in negotiations with Bologna regarding the transfer fee for Calafiori. Bologna values the young defender at least €25 million, and they are open to considering player exchanges as part of the deal. This flexibility in negotiations could help smooth the path for Calafiori’s move to Turin.
In addition to Calafiori, Juventus has also agreed on a deal with Michele Di Gregorio. The goalkeeper has agreed to a five-year contract worth €2 million per season.
The 25-year-old has been a consistent performer for Monza and his move to Juventus is seen as a strategic step to bolster their goalkeeping options.
Juventus is now working on finalizing the deal with Monza for Di Gregorio. Initially, Monza had set an asking price of €20 million for the goalkeeper.
However, negotiations have progressed, and it is now understood that a deal could be reached for €15 million plus add-ons or through a swap deal. This indicates a willingness on both sides to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
The imminent signings of Calafiori and Di Gregorio are part of Juventus’ broader strategy to rebuild and strengthen their squad.
The club is looking to reinforce key areas of the team as they aim to regain their dominance in Italy and compete more strongly in European competitions next year.
As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Juventus to see how these deals develop and what other moves they might make.
The Italian giants are clearly determined to make a strong impact in the market, and the signings of Calafiori and Di Gregorio are just the beginning.
