Premier League
Real Madrid continues to comb the market in search of reinforcements for their defense, and one name that is gaining strength again is Riccardo Calafiori. The Italian, currently at Arsenal, has managed to establish himself in Mikel Arteta's scheme, sparking interest once again from the white's board. It is not the first time his name has appeared on the agenda of the Madrid club, as his breakthrough at Bologna did not go unnoticed in Chamartín.
Calafiori's price, the main obstacle
Since his arrival in the Premier League, Calafiori has shown remarkable progression, standing out for his defensive solidity, good ball distribution, and ability to adapt to different roles in the backline. His versatility is a key factor that appeals to Real Madrid, where they see him as a player with room for growth and the ideal profile to strengthen the defense in the coming years. However, his excellent performance has only increased his value.
Arsenal, aware of their defender's worth, will not make his departure easy. His contract and the interest from other important clubs make the operation a financial challenge for Real Madrid. The Whites are not willing to pay any price and might consider other alternatives if negotiations become complicated. The priority is to find reinforcements without compromising the financial planning for future investments.
The final decision will depend on several factors, including Arsenal's willingness to negotiate and the player's stance on the possibility of joining the Santiago Bernabéu. In the meantime, Real Madrid continues to monitor his progress, assessing whether to take the definitive step to try to sign him or explore other options in the market.
