Real Madrid continues to be attentive to market opportunities and has once again set its sights on Riccardo Calafiori. The Italian defender, who has overcome a lengthy knee injury, has returned strongly in the final stretch of the season and has proven his worth in the Champions League with Arsenal. His style of play, which combines defensive solidity with a great ability to join the attack, has reignited the interest of the white team.

The Merengue club has been searching for reinforcements in defense for some time, especially given the frequent absences of Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba, and sees the Italian player as an ideal option to strengthen their defense. Calafiori was already on Juventus' radar last summer but ultimately chose the Premier League, leaving Bologna with a transfer fee close to 45 million euros.

Arsenal does not rule out his sale but will sell him at a high price

Now, Arsenal does not rule out the possibility of a sale but has set a high price to let him go. According to reports from Calciomercato, the Gunners would be willing to negotiate, but only if Real Madrid is willing to pay between 75 and 80 million euros. This is a figure that the white team will need to carefully consider, especially in an increasingly inflated market.

With the clash between both clubs in the Champions League quarter-finals, Madrid will have the opportunity to closely analyze Calafiori before making a final decision on his signing.
