viagramof – Corriere dello Sport reported that Arsenal He is close to matching Bologna’s asking price for Italy international Ricardo Calafiori, even if Chelsea stays.
Bologna are hoping for a bidding war for their star defender, and according to the newspaper, the Gunners have made an offer worth €47 million to sign the Roma academy product.
The Rome-based newspaper adds that Arsenal’s offer is close to Bologna’s asking price of €50 million but the Rossoblu have not yet accepted the Gunners’ offer.
Arsenal ready to match Bologna’s asking price for Calafiori
Bologna sporting director Giovanni Sartori said on Monday that Calafiori would not join Juventus, with a move to England perhaps the most likely.
Chelsea have yet to make an official bid for Calafiori, who joined Bologna from Basel for €4m last summer.
The Swiss club has a clause that allows them to receive 40% of any subsequent sale of Calafiori, so the Rossoblu are trying to sell him for as much money as possible.
