According to his ex-girlfriend, Riccardo Calafiori is on the cusp of joining Arsenal in a major transfer from Bologna. The Italian left-back, who impressed at Euro 2024, has become the Gunners' top target this summer. Despite a few setbacks, it seems that the deal is all but finalized, with both clubs agreeing on a fee of €50 million and Calafiori already agreeing to personal terms with Arsenal.
In fact, the news has been confirmed by a rather unexpected source - Benedetta Boeme, Calafiori's former partner, who shared a message on social media hinting at their break-up and his move to the Premier League giants. She thanked those who shared a video on TikTok that went viral, showing Calafiori at a party with another woman, and stated that she needed time to process everything that has happened.
Boeme also clarified that she holds no ill feelings towards Calafiori and wishes him the best at Arsenal, asking her followers not to spread any hate towards either of them. She acknowledged that some may choose to unfollow her now that he is no longer in the picture, and she understands and respects that decision.
This news may come as a surprise to some, as Calafiori and Boeme appeared to be a happy couple in public. However, Boeme's message suggests that there were issues in their relationship that ultimately led to their split. She also expressed her uncertainty about the reasons behind Calafiori's actions, which may have contributed to their break-up.
Nevertheless, the transfer to Arsenal seems to be a done deal, with Calafiori set to join the Gunners as their second signing of the summer, or their third if the deal for Ajax goalkeeper Tommy Setford is completed first. This is a major move for the 22-year-old, who will join a top club in the Premier League and compete against some of the best players in the world.
Fans of Arsenal will be eagerly awaiting the official announcement of Calafiori's transfer, as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. It remains to be seen how he will adapt to the English game, but his performances for Italy at Euro 2024 suggest that he has the potential to become a key player for the Gunners. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting transfer.
