Arsenal locked in negotiations to sign 22yo star
Arsenal are locked in negotiations with Bologna to finalise the transfer of Riccardo Calafiori, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
The north London giants have already agreed personal terms over a long-term deal with Calafiori and they are currently in talks with the Serie A outfit.
The Gunners have accepted the €50m package quoted by Bologna, but they are yet to find an agreement over the payment terms for the transfer.
Arsenal are willing to pay around €40m as a fixed fee with €10m in add-ons. On the other hand, Bologna are eyeing a much higher fixed sum.
The Italian club are also looking for a sell-on clause as part of the deal. Mikel Arteta's side seem reluctant to include the option for the player.
Despite the delay, there is no fear of a potential hijack. The 22-year-old has given his word to the Gunners and won't change his transfer stance.
It is only a matter of time before Calafiori makes the switch.
