Fabrizio Romano says Arsenal have started talks to sign ‘one of the best players’ in the world
Arsenal look set for a busy summer on the transfer front as Mikel Arteta and Edu look to strengthen their squad.
The Gunners have improved over the past few years, going from a team struggling to even re💯ach the top four to a regular Premier League title challenger.
Next season, Arsenal wi💃ll be eager to get the job done and finally win ꧂the title for the first time since 2004.
The Gunners have been linked with many top players in recent weeks, including one of the𒁏 most highly sought-after defenders in Europe at present.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has shared an exciting development for Arsenal fans, with t🌠he club now said to be in direct talks over his signature.

Arsenal in direct talks with Bologna over Riccardo Calafiori
The player in question is Bologna’s Riccardo Calafiori and🏅, according to Romano’s X account, Arsenal are making great progress on that front.
“After💧 Riccardo Calafiori’s green light to move and contract, Arsenal have made direct contact with Bologna,” wrote Romano.
“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.”
Arsenal making good progress for Calafiori
Speculation involving Arsenal and Calafiori has been posܫitive in recen🌱t days, and this latest development w💖ill be music to Gunners fans’ ears.
At just 22 years of age, the Italian has already been describedꦍ as “one of the best” left-footed defenders in the world by Romano.
Calafiori is a great modern-day defender, registering seven goal contributions in 30 Serie A appearances last season and impressing at the 🅺back as Bologna qualified for the Champions League.
According to , Bologna value him at €40-50million (£34-43miꦦllion), which isn’t a particularly huge amount for such a talented young defender.
Although Ar⛦senal’s defence wa🀅s solid last term, no club can rest on their laurels, and Calafiori would certainly improve their XI and their strength in depth.
