After a strong campaign in England, one Arsenal defender could be heading back to Italy in a move that is quietly gaining attention across Serie A.
His future remains open, and as the summer transfer window approaches, several top clubs are watching closely.
Among them, one Italian giant is preparing for a potential approach.
Despite having solidified his place in Arsenal’s setup last season, the defender may not be untouchable.
There are signs from North London that a deal could be made provided the offer is strong enough.
For the player, the idea of returning to Serie A has its appeal, especially with a new project on the horizon that promises both ambition and game time.
At the moment, discussions remain speculative. No formal talks have begun, but the interest is far from casual.
A leading Serie A side believes he can add both depth and quality to their defensive options, while also increasing the number of homegrown players in their squad; a priority for the upcoming campaign.
According to IlMilanista, reporting via Calciomercato, AC Milan are seriously considering a move for the former Bologna defender.
The club sees this as a strategic signing not just for the present, but for the long term as well.
His age, versatility, and Serie A experience make him a strong fit for the defensive unit Massimiliano Allegri wants to build.
The player in question is Riccardo Calafiori, and while no negotiations have officially started, the Rossoneri are keeping close tabs.
Milan know that Arsenal could part ways with him for the right fee, and with Allegri eager to shape the squad in his image, this deal could gain traction quickly.
All eyes now turn to the coming weeks, as Milan continue to explore the market for top-level reinforcements, Riccardo Calafiori may just be the next to wear the red and black.
