Bologna director of sport Giovanni Sartori was spotted at the Allianz Juventus Stadium today for reported talks about Riccardo Calafiori and Joshua Zirkzee.

The Rossoblu already completed their campaign last night with a 2-0 defeat away to Genoa.

It was the final match with Thiago Motta at the helm, as the coach is widely expected to take over at Juventus from next season.

With that in mind, the Bianconeri are also hoping to poach several of the Bologna players to follow their coach over to Turin.

Bologna players on Juventus radar

The biggest target is defender Calafiori, who is also wanted by Bayer Leverkusen, so Sartori’s presence could well be traced back to that.

However, Juventus also remain in the race for striker Zirkzee, who has a €40m release clause in his contract.

There is plenty of competition for the Dutchman, including Inter, Milan and above all Arsenal.

Juve director Cristiano Giuntoli was also busy at work today, because Monza are playing in Turin, so it was an opportunity to further discuss the details of a transfer for goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio at €18m plus bonuses.
