According to a report in DAZN (as relayed by Il Bianconero), Tottenham Hotspur are still very much in the race for Riccardo Calafiori’s signature and could jump ahead of Juventus in the queue by submitting a big offer for the Bologna star.
Calafiori won many admirers with his impressive displays for Bologna last season and the 22-year-old showed over the weekend that he has the temperament and composure to perform on the big stage, playing a staring role in Italy’s 2-1 win over Albania.
A couple of days ago, journalist Orazio Accomando suggested that although Juventus are leading the race to sign the centre-back, they must ‘watch out’ for Tottenham, who are also circling over the youngster.
He suggested that the Premier League side had already reached out to Bologna regarding a deal for the player.
DAZN have now also named Spurs and Juve as the two clubs battling it out for Calafiori, with the report stating that the Lilywhites’ entry could ‘change the cards on the table’.
It is suggested that Ange Postecoglou’s men have shown ‘strong interest’ in the versatile defender and have already spoken to the player’s entourage regarding a transfer.
The publication adds that Tottenham could get ahead of the Bianconeri in the race by making a ‘substantial offer’ for Calafiori, whose future remains uncertain.

Tottenham and Juve will both fear that Calafiori’s price would increase by a further few million if he continues shining for Italy at the Euros.
Perhaps that will force the two clubs to complete a swift deal rather than waiting until the end of the tournament.
