- Arsenal are no closer to signing Ricardo Calafiori
- “Gunners” still negotiating transfer fee with Bologna, no conclusion yet
- The player is ready to move teams, but the problem lies with two clubs.
Matteo Moretto, a famous Italian football journalist from “Sky Italia” , reported that Arsenal , a giant club in the English Premier League, is not close to reaching an agreement to acquire Ricardo Calafiori, a Bologna defender , to join the ยูฟ่าเบท https://ufabet999.app team.
Moretto said: “We have known for some time that Arsenal were pursuing Ricardo Calafiori and, although things seemed to be moving quickly at one point, it is not over yet. The player has accepted Arsenal’s offer but negotiations between the two clubs are not over yet.”
“Bologna wanted the original fee of €50m plus bonuses, but Arsenal wanted to do a deal for less. They are now offering €45m plus bonuses. One important thing to consider is that Basel have a percentage of the transfer.”
“So Bologna have to give Basel some of the money from the sale of the player. Arsenal are trying to reduce the percentage that goes to Basel. The negotiations are not progressing at the moment. At the moment, they are at a standstill. The player is on standby waiting for the problem to be solved. Let’s see what happens.”
For Calafiori, he moved to Bologna from Basel last season and has impressed, including a strong showing for Italy at the recent Euros.
