Calafiori reportedly nearing an agreement with Arsenal; Bologna reach full terms for defender.

Negotiations between Arsenal and Bologna for Riccardo Calafiori have resumed after a period of stagnation, suggesting that the two clubs are close to reaching an agreement.

The talks had appeared to falter entirely, raising concerns about a complete breakdown, especially as Juventus remained a keen contender for the player’s signature.

According to a Twitter update from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the breakthrough came as a result of significant discussions led by Calafiori’s agent, Alessandro Lucci.

“The conversations were crucial in bridging the gap between Arsenal and Bologna’s expectations,” Romano stated on his Twitter feed.

This development is expected to bring the young defender closer to joining the Gunners, bolstering their defensive options for the upcoming season.

More details on the final terms of the agreement are anticipated soon, with official confirmations likely to follow imminently.
