Overview
- Arsenal plan to keep Riccardo Calafiori and are not inviting bids, according to club-aligned reports.
- The 23-year-old has slipped behind Piero Hincapie at left back, which has increased talk of a move for more minutes.
- Several outlets say he would consider a return to Serie A, with Inter, Juventus and Napoli linked.
- An Italian reporter says Inter are unlikely to pay about €50m (£44m) and raised doubts about using him as a centre-back in a 3-5-2.
- Chelsea interest persists, but Arsenal do not want to sell to a domestic rival and the player prefers Italy, so any exit would need a strong, well-matched offer.
