Calafiori enjoyed an impressive season in Serie A as Bologna secured Champions League qualification for the first time in their history.
Calafiori's involvement in one of the meanest defences in Europe has led him to become one of the most coveted defenders on the continent this summer
It appears that it's the 36-time Italian champions that are in pole position to land Calafiori and, according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, are close to agreeing a deal in the region of £32m-£43m with Bologna.
The report adds that Bologna, who have already lost manager Thiago Motta to Juventus this month, see Calafiori's departure as a "formality"

Liverpool are determined to sign a centre-back this summer following the departure of Joel Matip and have also been linked with a move for Lille and France under-21 star Leny Yoro.
The Athletic, though, are reporting that Yoro will not move to Anfield this summer and has informed Real Madrid of his desire to join the club.
