London, United Kingdom - Arsenal Football Club is reportedly nearing the acquisition of Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori from Serie A club Bologna. According to multiple sources, the Gunners have agreed on personal terms with the player, and Bologna is poised to accept a substantial transfer fee.

Calafiori, 22, has been a key figure for Bologna, making impressive performances in the UEFA Europa League group stage. However, Italy's disappointing exit from Euro 2024 without Calafiori in the lineup further highlighted his absence from the national team.

The reported transfer fee for Calafiori is said to be in the region of €50 million (£42.1 million). This deal would represent a significant investment from Arsenal as they bolster their defensive options ahead of the upcoming season.

With personal terms reportedly agreed upon and Bologna expected to accept the offer, the transfer of Riccardo Calafiori to Arsenal is set to be finalized in the coming days. Stay tuned for further updates on this breaking story.
