"Arsenal and Bologna Reach Agreement for Riccardo Calafiori"


 Arsenal and Bologna have successfully negotiated an agreement for the transfer of Riccardo Calafiori!. The long-awaited progress of talks  culminated in a solid agreement between the two clubs for the talented Italian defender.This transfer represents an important step for Arsenal as they continue to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. Fans of the Gunners can expect to see Calafiori wearing the red and white shirt and bringing his defensive skills to the Emirates Stadium.


Details of the contract reveal a total package: Arsenal will pay a fixed transfer fee of €40 million, complemented by potential add-ons of €5 million. In addition, a sell-on clause has been included to ensure Bologna benefits from any future transfer involving Calafiori. This structured deal demonstrates Arsenal's commitment to acquiring top talent while offering Bologna significant financial benefits and long-term prospects. The inclusion of these types of clauses highlights the complexity of modern transfer negotiations, where immediate and future interests are carefully balanced.


Riccardo Calafiori had already agreed to  a five-year contract with Arsenal in June, keeping him at the club until 2029. His annual salary will be around €4 million net, reflecting his value and the club's confidence in his abilities. This long-term contract underlines Arsenal's strategic investment in young talent and their vision of a strengthened defense in the coming years. By securing Calafiori for the long term, Arsenal are looking to create a stable foundation for their future defensive strategy.


One crucial point that remains unsettled is Bologna's obligation to FC Basel. Bologna owes the Swiss club 50% of the contract value, so it is necessary to further discuss the details of this payment. Arsenal, Bologna and FC Basel must work closely together to finalise these financial details and ensure a smooth and transparent transaction. This step is essential to fully complete the transfer and allow Calafiori a smooth transition  to his new club. Coordination between the three clubs will be crucial to ensure all parties are happy with the financial arrangements.
