In a major development, the transfer of Ricardo Calafiori to Arsenal has been finalized, marking a significant move for the Italian Defender. The agreement for a permanent transfer from Bologna was sealed back in June, with Calafiori set to sign a lucrative 5-year contract with no buyout option, earning a net salary of €4 million per season.

The negotiations between the player, Calafiori, and Arsenal had been progressing smoothly, as the young talent was eager to make the switch to the English club. Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, had expressed a strong desire to bring Calafiori on board, and the clubs have now come to terms, with the final paperwork being exchanged. The transfer fee for the promising defender is estimated to be around 45 million euros, with Bologna also securing a sell-on clause in the deal. With everything falling into place on the player’s end, Calafiori is now set to undergo medical tests in the US, as he prepares to join Arsenal for their upcoming preseason tour. This signing marks Arsenal’s first major acquisition of the summer under the management of Mikel Arteta.

The completion of Ricardo Calafiori’s transfer to Arsenal represents a significant milestone for both the player and the club. As the young defender gears up to embark on this new chapter in his career, all parties involved are optimistic about the prospects that lie ahead. With the deal now officially in motion, fans can eagerly anticipate seeing Calafiori don the Arsenal jersey and showcase his talent in the Premier League.
