Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori is being closely monitored by Arsenal, with the club considering joining the race to sign him. The recruitment team at Arsenal has been impressed with Calafiori’s performance at the European Championship with Italy, where he made 33 appearances last season and earned his first call-up to the Italian national team.
While there are strong links between Juventus and Calafiori, other teams are also interested in signing him. Bologna finished fifth in Serie A last season and played in all three of Italy’s group stage games at Euro 2024. However, he was suspended for the round of 16 knockout tie against Switzerland, where Italy lost 2-0 without him.
Giovanni Sartori, the technical director of Bologna, stated that they will consider serious offers but have a desire to keep Calafiori at the club. If Arsenal decides to pursue Calafiori, it could impact Poland centre-back Jakub Kiwior’s future at the club.
Arsenal fans will be eager to see how this situation unfolds and whether they will be successful in securing Calafiori’s services.
