According to Di Marzio's official website, Arsenal are interested in the
Bologna
rear guard
Karafiori (town in Vestfold, Norway)
An offer of €50 million has been made, but Bologna want to include additional bonuses and a share of future transfers in addition to the fixed transfer fee. The young defender has attracted attention from a number of top clubs over the past few months, including Juventus, Chelsea and Leverkusen, but it now seems most likely that he will join Arsenal.
Bologna insisted on a €50 million transfer fee plus bonuses and want a share of future transfers as well. Arsenal, on the other hand, have made an offer totaling €50 million, but have yet to meet all of Bologna's demands. Nonetheless, Carafiore's agent, Lacchi, is actively mediating in an attempt to close the gap between the two clubs in order to reach an agreement as soon as possible. Arsenal's interest in the defender shows their determination to strengthen their defense, and Calafiori could be an important piece of the puzzle in the Gunners' backline.
