Arsenal are in a good position to sign Riccardo Calafiori. After the player’s club Bologna agreed a big-money bid from the Gunners.
Arsenal are in a very good position to sign Italy star centre-back Riccardo Calafiori for Euro 2024 , according to a report from the media . The player’s club Bologna have agreed a high-priced offer from the Gunners.
TMW stated that although Bologna wanted to keep the player to fight both domestically and internationally, both in terms of performance in Serie A and in the UEFA Champions League next season, the €50 million offer that Arsenal offered for the handsome player was enough to give the Rosso Blu team the green light to let the player move out.
Arsenal are another club in the running to sign Calafiori, along with Chelsea and Juventus, after the player impressed throughout last โปรโมชั่น ufabet season, making 33 appearances and continuing into Euro 2024 as a regular in Luciano Spalletti’s Azzurri side.
Although Italy only lost in the round of 16 after losing to Switzerland 0-2, it was a match that Calafiori did not play in due to suspension.
Bologna reportedly rejected a €47m offer earlier, prompting Arsenal to raise the offer to €50m and get the green light.
However, Bologna will not receive the full €50m as they have signed an option with the 22-year-old’s former club Basel to give them a 40 per cent share of the transfer fee.
If a contract agreement can be reached with the player, the competition for a position in Arsenal’s defence will be significantly more intense, with options at centre-back such as Calafiori, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalles and Jakub Givior, as well as Jurrien Timber, who has been out for the entire last season.
