Sky: Decisive week for Calafiori to Arsenal despite PSG, Chelsea interest
Gianluca Di Marzio claims that the Gunners and Mikel Arteta have offered Calafiori the ‘most attractive project’ so even if Chelsea, PSG and Bayer Leverkusen have recently sounded out the defender’s availability, Arsenal remain in the front row.
Il Corriere dello Sport has reported that Bologna rejected Arsenal’s €47m offer, but the Gunners’ opening bid was close to the Rossoblu’s €50m asking price.
Calafiori, a product of the Roma academy, joined Bologna from Basel for just €4m in the 2023 summer transfer window, and the Swiss club hold a 40% clause on the next sale.
