There has been a lot of news in the past few hours that Real Madrid has placed Ricardo Calafiore as one of the options proposed to support the centre-back position in the current summer Mercato.
Calafiori has become the talk of the world in light of his distinguished performance with the Italian national team in Euro 2024, and many major clubs have begun trying to sign him.
The last name to join the race was Real Madrid, but the “Relevo” network confirms that the news of the Royal club’s interest in including the Bologna star is completely false.
According to the report, Real Madrid is only interested in signing Lille defender Lenny Yoro, and has no intention of entering the race to include Calafiori.
For Real Madrid’s management, Yoro is the desired option to support the centre-back, and there is no plan for any other player in this position, especially since the agreement with the player has already been concluded for a long time.
In the coming weeks, the Spanish club will try to reach an agreement with Lille, as this is the only thing hindering the deal now, as the French club wants more than 50 million euros to sell the player, while Real Madrid does not want to pay more than 40 million euros.
