Calafiori comes from Serie A club FC Bologna, and according to media reports, his new contract runs for five years until 2029. The transfer fee is said to be around 45 million euros, but there are no official details on this.

Calafiori had attracted attention with strong performances, particularly during the preliminary round of the European Championship in Germany this summer. The defending champions Squadra Azzurra were defeated by Switzerland in the round of 35 - without Calafiori, who was suspended. Mats Hummels (XNUMX) is being considered as a possible successor to the central defender in Bologna.
