Arsenal continue to remain €10m apart from signing Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori this summer, according to Sky Sport Italy.
The Gunners have already agreed personal terms with the Italy international, but they are yet to find an agreement with the Serie A outfit.
Bologna want €50m as a fixed fee for the versatile defender as they owe 40 percent of the fee to his former club Basel due to a sell-on clause.
However, the Gunners are only willing to pay €40m up front with the remaining €10m in add-ons. The difference has not been resolved.
Bologna have tried to compensate with a separate loan deal for Jakub Kiwior with an obligation to buy, but the Pole does not wish to join them.
Kiwior has opened the door for a return to Serie A this summer, but he is prioritising a move to either Juventus or Milan instead of Bologna.
As things stand, Arsenal have made no progress in the Calafiori deal, but they remain optimistic of finding a solution in the coming days.
