Liverpool could start to make their moves in the transfer market as targets drop out of international tournaments.

The Reds have so far been extraordinarily quiet in the summer window, with Euro 2024 and the Copa America hindering their ability to get deals done.

Thankfully, both tournaments are now almost down to the last eight, leaving plenty of potential Liverpool targets free to discuss transfers.

One who that very much applies to is Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori.

Calafiori has been heavily linked with Liverpool and has shone during the European Championship.

However, with Italy surprisingly crashing out against Switzerland in the last-16, the 22-year-old could now be a name we start to hear even more about.

Calafiori really caught the eye for Italy in Germany this summer.

It was perhaps not a coincidence that the Bologna man was suspended for Monday’s loss to the Swiss.

Shorn of Calafiori’s calm and front-footed defending, the Azzurri conceded twice and were sent packing.

From a Liverpool point of view, that could be good news.

Up until this point, it had always seemed as though Juventus were favourites to land Calafiori.

Despite that, there were claims from the Italian press on Sunday that Bologna would actually prefer Calafiori to move to the Premier League instead.

And this is now backed up by the club’s technical director, Giovanni Satori.

In quotes via journalist Fabrizio Romano on X, Sartori has claimed that it’s ‘probable’ that Calafiori heads abroad this summer, if he is to leave Bologna that is.

“I think he will not end up joining Juventus,” says the director.

“Probably he can go abroad, in case we decide to sell him.

“We’d like to keep Calafiori so let’s see what happens.”

If this is good news for Liverpool in their pursuit of Calafiori, then it only adds to the pile of such updates they’ve seemingly received over the players recently.

Hughes’ presence at Anfield could end up being the deciding factor.
