“Arsenal’s €50M Deal in the Balance – Gunners Hold Secret Advantage”
Despite a spell of excitement in the Italian media which saw multiple sources insist a deal to take Riccardo Calafiori to Arsenal had already been agreed, things have calmed down a little since then.
Whilst it’s still thought that an agreement is on the way, and that the central defender has picked the Gunners despite having other options, it’s not agreed.
That’s reported by TuttoBolognaWeb, who are part of the Gazzetta dello Sport group. They say there’s no agreement yet on the €50m transfer, with Bologna being keen to clear €30m after paying the percentage due to Calafiori’s former club FC Basel.

Konaté: “Success Will Come” Despite the uncertainty, Konaté remains optimistic. Speaking in a recent interview, the French centre-back emphasized that this phase is part of a bigger journey. According to him, Liverpool are still adapting — especially with new players settling into the squad. He believes that with time, chemistry will improve and trophies will follow. 🏆 He also pointed to last season’s success as proof that the team has what it takes to bounce back stronger. 🤝 A Call for Unity More than anything, Konaté stressed the importance of togetherness between the team and its supporters. He praised the Anfield faithful and urged everyone to stay united, insisting that better days are ahead if patience is maintained. ❤️ Interestingly, his comments come at a time when his own future at the club remains uncertain, with his contract situation yet to be resolved heading into the summer. 🔍 What Happens Next? Liverpool’s season is now entering a defining period. Results must improve, injuries need to clear, and stability must return — both on and off the pitch. But if Konaté’s words are anything to go by, belief inside the squad is still very much alive. And sometimes… that’s all it takes before everything turns around. 👀🔥

Meanwhile, the Serie A side are keen on Jakub Kiwior and would ideally like to sign the Arenal defender on loan with a buying option for next summer.
Juventus are also keen on Kiwior, so there’s a clear card Arsenal can play here to help them get the Calafiori transfer over the line.
A well priced loan for Kiwior to Bologna looks like a route to success.
