Tottenham in a hurry to get transfer deal done – Want priority to avoid crazy auctions
Tottenham are eager to swiftly secure a deal for Bologna’s Riccardo Calafiori and circumvent potential bidding wars in the upcoming transfer window, according to Il Pallano Gonfiato.
The club holds a strong interest in the 21-year-old defender and is eager to finalize an agreement, having monitored Calafiori’s progress for some time and now expressing readiness to proceed with a deal.
Described as being in the “front row” for Calafiori’s signature, Tottenham views his versatility across the defense as a valuable asset, aligning with manager Ange Postecoglou’s preference for adaptable players.
Drawing from their recent transfer dealings in Italy, particularly the acquisition of Radu Dragusin from Genoa, Tottenham aims to replicate their success by swiftly negotiating a deal for Calafiori.
The club is contemplating offering a package valued at €25 million plus bonuses, a proposal intended to persuade Bologna to part ways with the promising defender.
Tottenham seeks to establish priority in transfer discussions to avoid engaging in competitive bidding processes that could inflate Calafiori’s price tag, potentially reaching €30 million if auctioned.
While this higher figure could satisfy all parties involved, Tottenham’s willingness to meet such demands remains uncertain. However, the club’s eagerness to secure Calafiori’s services may prompt them to meet Bologna’s valuation to avoid protracted negotiations.
