Real Madrid Eye Riccardo Calafiori as Alternative to Yoro
Report: Italian Defender Targeted by Spanish Giants
Real Madrid have reportedly identified Riccardo Calafiori as their top alternative to Leny Yoro in the upcoming transfer window. Calafiori, a 22-year-old Italian defender, currently plays for Bologna FC 1909 and has caught the attention of the Spanish giants with his impressive performances.
According to reports in Spain, Real Madrid will make a bid for Calafiori this summer if they fail to secure the services of their primary target, Leny Yoro. Calafiori's versatility as a center-back and his ability to play multiple positions make him an attractive option for Carlo Ancelotti's side.
The Bologna defender, valued at €3 million, fits perfectly within Real Madrid's transfer policy, which focuses on acquiring young and talented players. Calafiori has been a regular starter for Bologna and has made 15 appearances in Serie A this season.
Real Madrid's pursuit of Calafiori is part of their ongoing efforts to strengthen their defense. The Spanish giants have conceded 24 goals in 23 La Liga matches this season, which is not up to their usual standards. Calafiori's arrival would provide much-needed depth and competition to the backline.
