Serie A pacesetters Inter Milan are reportedly considering a summer move for Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori.
According to L’Interista, the Italian star’s high price tag could represent a potential stumbling block for the Nerazzurri.
Riccardo Calafiori joined Arsenal from Bologna in the summer of 2024 for a reported fee of £42 million.
Moreover, the 23-year-old has signed a lucrative multi-year contract in North London, pledging his future to the Gunners until 2029.
However, he has recently emerged as a potential target for Inter Milan, with the Nerazzurri preparing to revamp their defensive options at the end of the season.
Inter Milan Plotting Audacious Summer Move for Arsenal Star Riccardo Calafiori
Calafiori has failed to secure regular first-team football at the Emirates Stadium this season, making just 18 starts in the Premier League.
Therefore, Mikel Arteta could be open to selling the Italian ace in the summer. However, Arsenal will probably look to recoup their investment.
As such, Inter cannot expect to sign Calafiori on favorable terms. Furthermore, they would likely have to spend around €50 million to sanction the sale.
Yet, since Alessandro Bastoni could leave the club amid Barcelona’s intense interest, Cristian Chivu’s side may have to break the bank to replace the 26-year-old.
Why in the hell we need a full back?
No thanks. Hes not good on the ball and hes not quick which is why he could not be a starter for Arsenal. Also are we getting him as a cb or a fullback?
Inter will hope to sell Bastoni for 80 then aquire him for 50, but Arsenal will probably play hardball.
He’s left footed, he’s younger, if we were to pull that off how would you feel about it?
We missed him and Kayode before they went to epl we ve no chance now
He is very good, just injury prone. Together with Bastoni would be great at Inter.
If we somehow keep bastoni and get calafiori we will have the best defense.
nah… them together in the national team was a disaster
that was just 1 game.
F that – we should go all in for lazio’s Motta!!!!!!
