The 22 year old left-back, Riccardo Calafiori, had an amazing time in the just concluded Euros’24, with Italy.
Many clubs, were ready to steal him away with a deal from Bologna. Among the clubs, are Chelsea, arsenal, Man. U and other European team.
Arsenal are closing in, finalizing the last details about the deal, which includes payment structure and additional clauses. Basel are entitled to 50% clause of sale in profit.
Calafiori was acquired by Bologna last summer for $3.3 million.
Arsenal are looking to strengthen their squad, and adding a competition for Oleksandr Zinchenko, it’s appealing.
