The latest update on the transfer saga involving Riccardo Calafiori includes significant developments with Arsenal and Chelsea both expressing keen interest. Calafiori is open to joining Arsenal as they have presented a long-term contract proposal with no salary issues, and a well-thought-out project for the player. However, Chelsea is also in the mix and looking to approach Bologna, potentially including players in the negotiation process.
Arsenal has a shortlist of left-footed defenders, with Calafiori emerging as a top target due to his versatility in playing both center-back and left-back positions. With Juventus falling out of the race due to negotiation difficulties, the path seems clearer for Arsenal to secure Calafiori. The good relationship between Arsenal and Bologna, especially after the successful deal for Takehiro Tomiyasu, bodes well for this potential transfer.
In another transfer update, Joao Palhinha’s move to Bayern Munich seems imminent, which could have implications on Joshua Kimmich’s future at Bayern. While Bayern still have a chance to extend Kimmich’s contract, it’s likely that he might explore other opportunities. The quiet transfer window for Liverpool has seen some interest in Anthony Gordon and Marc Guehi, although nothing concrete has materialized yet.
Real Madrid is eyeing Alphonso Davies and Leny Yoro as potential future signings, with ongoing discussions. Davies’ situation hinges on Bayern’s asking price, while Yoro is keen on a move to Real Madrid. Clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, and PSG could enter the race for Yoro if negotiations between Lille and Real Madrid collapse.
In the Saudi market, Al Nassr is eyeing a move for Manchester City’s Ederson, who is open to a transfer. Real Madrid maintains interest in both Davies and Yoro, with potential moves on the horizon. PSG’s interest in Leeds United’s Crysencio Summerville adds an intriguing angle to the transfer market.
