Arsenal Faces Major Setback in Riccardo Calafiori Signing

Arsenal faces a major setback in their pursuit of Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna. According to The Mirror, the Premier League North London club’s plans to sign Calafiori have hit a snag and are currently under serious threat.

The holdup stems from a standoff between Bologna and Basel regarding the player’s sell-on fee. The Serie A club is threatening to pull the plug on the deal if their demands are not met.

This development is a significant blow for Arsenal, who had already agreed to personal terms with Calafiori. Mikel Arteta’s team had offered the talented defender a five-year contract, set to run until June 2029.

Arsenal’s bid to strengthen their defense with Riccardo Calafiori seems uncertain as negotiations hit a critical impasse.
