Arsenal Cool on Calafiori Sale as Inter Interest Stalls Over Price

Inter reluctance to meet a £44m fee reduces the chances of a summer exit.

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.
