Per Fabrizio Romano, interest in the Bologna man is very high, especially after Euro 2024.
Calafiori is one who does want to leave Bologna, but may prefer to stay in Italy.
The likes of Juventus are circling for his signature, while other top clubs in England are also linked.
Romano did admit that while Hughes admires Calafiori, no contact has taken place between the two clubs.
