Following days of speculation as to his next destination after attracting the interests of top clubs in Europe, Italian defender Ricardo Calafiori has reportedly made his final choice in either a move to Chelsea or Arsenal in the June 2024 transfer window.
Reports now confirm that Arsenal received the player’s greenlight and would commence negotiations with Bologna and submit a bid for Calafiori. Sports journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed this in a post that read, “After Riccardo Calafiori’s green light to move and contract, Arsenal have made direct contact with Bologna. Talks between clubs have started. No issues on Calafiori’s contract terms, up to the clubs now. Arsenal currently ahead, no bid from Chelsea so far.”
