SAD NEWS- Tottenham’s chances of signing £50m player star who is on the radar of most clubs has decreased drastically as he has has just agreed personal terms with North London rivals Arsenal
Over the past week, Riccardo Calafiori has emerged as one of the most talked-about names in the transfer market. Arsenal and Chelsea have both shown significant interest in the talented Italian defender. Reports suggest that a move to Arsenal is highly probable, with personal terms allegedly agreed upon and an official bid submitted. However, there’s an intriguing new development in this transfer saga: Tottenham Hotspur has re-entered the fray, keen on securing Calafiori’s services.
According to Gazzetta, Tottenham is making a renewed effort to sign Riccardo Calafiori. The Italian defender had previously been on Spurs’ radar back in January. Now, as the Bologna star prepares for a potential move to the Premier League, Tottenham is determined to compete for his signature. Yet, this won’t be a straightforward task for Spurs, as Arsenal appears to have made significant progress in their pursuit of Calafiori.
While Tottenham aims to disrupt Arsenal’s plans, the Gunners remain the frontrunners for Calafiori. Arsenal has already submitted a bid and agreed on personal terms, putting them in a strong position to finalize the deal. Additionally, Arsenal’s offer of Champions League football is a significant draw, especially compared to Spurs, who cannot offer the same this season. The competition for a starting spot is tough at both clubs. At Arsenal, Gabriel Magalhaes stands as a considerable obstacle in Calafiori’s path to the first team. Similarly, at Tottenham, Micky van de Ven plays a pivotal role, arguably being one of the team’s most indispensable players.
Adding another layer of complexity to this transfer saga is Chelsea’s interest in Calafiori. The Blues are also keen on the £50 million-rated defender, and given their history, they could very well have a surprise move planned. Chelsea’s involvement means that the battle for Calafiori’s signature is far from over, and their financial muscle could swing the pendulum in their favor.
As the transfer window heats up, Riccardo Calafiori’s future remains uncertain. With three top Premier League clubs vying for his signature, his next move will undoubtedly be one of the most closely watched developments in this summer’s transfer market. Whether he ends up at Arsenal, Tottenham, or Chelsea, Calafiori is set to be a key player to watch in the coming season.
