Indeed, the London club would be close to formalizing the arrival of the Italian defender from Bologna Riccardo Calafiori. The Italian international who performed well during the European Nations Championship should join Mikel Arteta’s squad for the sum of 40 million plus five million in bonuses and a resale clause. The 22-year-old player is a real reinforcement for the English team.
What role does Riccardo Calafiori play?
A real sensation of this Euro 2024 and performing well in Serie A with Bologna, Riccardo Calafiori would now move into a new dimension if he were to join Arsenal. The Italian defender would arrive at a club where competition is quite strong in the defensive sector.
In central defense, he will have to make a place for himself alongside William Saliba or Gabriel. Unless Mikel Arteta decides to position him on the left side of the defense in a hybrid role. It is an option not to be ruled out like a Josko Gvardiol or a Manuel Akanji at Manchester City. To be continued…
