Sо, they’Ԁ rаther let him gо аbrоаԀ, аnԀ rumоur hаs it thаt the 22-yeаr-оlԀ cоulԀ be heаԀing tо the Premier Leаgue.
Even though they have established contacts, Arsenal will still face stiff competition from Chelsea.
Expect to pay close to €50 million for the versatile center-back and left-back. Basel, his previous club, will receive half of the transfer.
Chelsea may revive interest in Osimhen and contemplate a move for Calafiori
Riccardo Calafiori of Bologna is a target for Chelsea as they look to add a left-footed defender with versatility to their back three or four.
Calafiori, who can play both left back and center back, is reportedly being considered as a defensive reinforcement, per The Telegraph.
The 2024 European Championship was a great performance by the 22-year-old, continuing his breakthrough season. Lots of people noticed how calm and collected he was while he was on the ball.
With his assistance, Bologna was able to retain ten clean sheets in thirty games in the Serie A previous season, which was a major factor in their qualification for the Champions League.
While playing several positions for manager Thiago Motta, Calafiori won 63% of his duels in Serie A and contributed to five goals and two assists.
Even though the Blues would be better served by acquiring a left-back specialist, he might be a fantastic summer acquisition nonetheless.Despite originally dropping out of a deal due to the hefty figures involved, Chelsea has not ruled out a move for Napoli attacker Victor Osimhen.
After failing to attract suitors when they demanded payment in full for his €150 million release clause, Napoli allegedly lowered their asking price to €100 million.
The Partenopei are prepared to sell Osimhen this summer and are hoping that the purchasers will return to the bargaining table after seeing the price cut.
The transfers of Jhon Duran from Aston Villa and Samu Omorodion from Atletico Madrid were unsuccessful for Chelsea. They may bring back the Napoli player to challenge Nicolas Jackson.
