Report: Arsenal star is ‘keen’ on surprise summer exit Riccardo Calafiori Transfer Latest: Arsenal Face Summer Balancing Act Serie A Pull Creates Fresh Uncertainty There is a particular tension that surrounds a player who feels slightly peripheral at a major club, yet still valued enough to complicate any clean exit. That appears to be the case for Riccardo Calafiori at Arsenal , as reported by Caught Offside . Interest from Italy has not arrived suddenly, it has lingered, waited, and now grown louder.
Calafiori, once seen as a versatile defensive solution, now finds himself navigating reduced prominence, with Piero Hincapie moving ahead in the hierarchy. “Calafiori isn’t pushing to leave Arsenal, but he’s fallen behind Piero Hincapie in the pecking order this season, so Inter feel it’s a deal that would be worth exploring,” according to the report. “He’s keen to return to Italy at some point, and though this is a bit sooner than expected, it can’t be ruled out for this summer.
