Arsenal close to signing Bologna Defender Riccardo Calafiori
Arsenal are close to finalising a deal with Bologna for defender Riccardo Calafiori, who is expected to undergo a medical in the coming days.
The 22-year-old is set to join up with Arsenal in the United States as their pre-season tour continues with games against Manchester United and Liverpool over the next week.
Arsenal will pay in the region of €50 million ($64m) for Calafiori with a significant chunk of that amount due to his former club Basel, who negotiated a sell-on fee when allowing him to move in the summer of 2023.
Calafiori is an Italy international capable of playing at centre-back and left-back. He featured in all three of Italy group-stage matches at Euro 2024 and is set to become Arsenal first addition of the summer after making David Raya loan move to Brentford permanent in a deal worth £30m ($38m) in total.
