According to Bologna's director, Walter Sartori, the Italian side expects bids from English teams, and Calafiori might not end up at Juventus, despite previous links.

Sartori confirmed that Bologna would like to keep Calafiori, but they are open to selling him if the right offer comes along. “Probably he can go abroad, in case we decide to sell him.... We'd like to keep Calafiori, so let's see what happens,” Sartori said.
