Arsenal will not entertain any offers for 23-year-old Italian international Riccardo Calafiori in the summer transfer window amid his links with Inter Milan and Juventus.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Inter Milan and Juventus are interested in Riccardo Calafiori. The two Serie A giants are keen on bolstering their defensive unit by signing a versatile defender in the summer transfer window. So, the 23-year-old Arsenal utility man has emerged as a target for them.
The latest report has brought bad news for Inter Milan and Juventus. While some updates have suggested that the Rome native is open to returning to Serie A in the summer transfer window, Arsenal will not entertain any offers for him in the coming months, as he is an asset for Mikel Arteta.
Riccardo Calafiori has established himself as one of the most reliable defenders in the Premier League since joining Arsenal from Bologna in a deal worth £40 million, including add-ons, in July 2024. While the 23-year-old has endured some fitness issues in the last 21 months, he has been a dependable performer at the back for the North London club.
The Italian international has been a utility man and an asset for Arteta, as he can play as a centre-back and a left-back. Calafiori has made over 50 appearances for Arsenal thus far while chipping in with four goals and five assists. Meanwhile, the player’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. Inter Milan and Juventus are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
Inter Milan’s interest in Riccardo Calafiori is understandable.
