Arsenal €42M star set for a shock summer exit

Calafiori’s Arsenal exit looms as the Italian Defender Set for Shock Departure Amid Interest from Serie A giants

Riccardo Calafiori’s Arsenal exit could come sooner than expected after only one season. The Italian defender, who arrived from Bologna last summer, has struggled with injuries throughout his debut campaign in the Premier League. Despite showing glimpses of his talent, recurring knee issues have kept him sidelined for much of the season, raising doubts about his future at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal are reportedly open to offers for the 22-year-old defender, with a valuation of £35m placed on him, according to MilanLive. Juventus are said to be weighing up a move for the young talent.

Meanwhile, AC Milan are prepared to challenge Juve in the race for his signature. The Rossoneri are considering a potential swap deal, with Malick Thiaw and Fikayo Tomori emerging as possible makeweight in negotiations.

Riccardo Calafiori’s injury struggles at Arsenal could pave the way for a transfer. Arsenal, on the other hand, is reportedly open to selling the defender, with a price tag of at least €35 million placed on him.

Calafiori’s potential departure comes at a time when Arsenal is facing uncertainty in their defensive lineup. With Kieran Tierney possibly returning to Celtic and other left-sided defenders like Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior linked with exits, Mikel Arteta’s squad could be left short in key defensive positions.

While speculation continues to swirl, it remains to be seen wheer Calafiori will indeed leave North London or fight for his place in Arteta’s plans. His talent is undeniable, but his injury record may ultimately determine his fate.
