Arsenal expected to complete deal for Riccardo Calafiori today

According to , Arsenal are expected to make a second offer worth £46.5m for Riccardo Calafiori after their initial bid was rejected.

The Bologna defender has attracted widespread interestꦜ after his exceptional performances for Italy at Euro 2024.

Chelsea, Newcastle,🌃 West Ham United and Juventus have all been mooted as potential destinations but it’s Arsenal who lead the race.

In fac𝓡t, it’s claimed that a deal to sign Calafiori could be🅠 completed in the next few hours or at the latest by the weekend.

Arsenal have offered Riccardo Calafiori a five-year deal

Arsenal have offered the Italian defender a five-year contract worth £2.9m-a-year, which has given the North Londoners a clear advanꦅtage in negotiations.

Arteta has been in the market for a left-footed defender, potentially to replace Jakub Kiwior, and it appears he has his man – who has been labelled ‘world class’.

Kiwior could now depart for Juventus whilst Nuno Tavares, who also operates in a similar position, could leave for Ajax.

The transfer window is really starting to crank up a gear for Arsenal and they’re now expected to go afܫter Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres.

It’s set🔯 to be a busy week ahead for Edu and club chiefs as they negotiate a numꦗber of high-profile deals.
