Who would have thought that Riccardo Calafiori would become a hot topic for the big European teams and now Arsenal is also hunting for him. Mikel Arteta has approved the club's plan to recruit him and maybe this transfer will go well considering Arsenal has a good relationship with Bologna. Riccardo Calafiori is priced at 50 million euros and it looks like Arsenal can still negotiate that fee down a little.
On the other hand, Chelsea are reportedly also interested in him and they are offering to add additional players to Bologna as a transfer agreement for Riccardo Calafiori. This Bologna central defender seems quite interesting because previously Liverpool and Real Madrid were also interested in him and let's see which of these teams will manage to get him.

Media sell the name of big club like chelsea to gain the traffic. Chelsea is a big club with many active fans. So, it's no surprise to see Chelsea often mentioned in hot football rumors. The loyal supporters of chelsea will keep update with the latest news about chelsea. And lastly, it's the easiest way for media to attract loyal Chelsea fans. They just have to mention the blues in a hot rumor.
I see that Riccardo Calafiori is a highly potential player, he's only 22 years old, bringing Bologna to qualify for Champions League and he's playing for Italy senior team. He deserved to play in big team, moving to Arsenal is a good idea, they always play with 4-4-2 strategy. Since he's a center back player, he has a higher chance to play without need to wait the main center back injured.
Yeah, that's good idea. Calafiori can step up by leaving Bologna and moving to the arsenal. And again, Bologna is also giving green light for non serie a team to recruit him. It's confirmed, bologna will not sell calafiori to their rival in the same league.
This is a very positive signal, and Arsenal can acquire Calafiori from Bologna.
