Italian journalist said:

” Arsenal have made a long-term offer for Riccardo Calafiori, after their interest was revealed last week.”

Calafiori is a hot name on the transfer market.

” I understand the player is open to joining Arsenal if they can agree terms with Bologna. But Chelsea are still there. Arsenal and Chelsea are the only two clubs in talks at the moment.”

“More on Riccardo Calafiori. Mikel Arteta has approved the signing of the Italian centre-back, one of three centre-back targets.”

“Arsenal also have a good relationship with Bologna after the Tomiyasu deal; the asking price is around 50 million euros, there has been no official offer yet.”

“Chelsea will provide players as part of the deal.”

Due to his performance, he has been linked to both Real Madrid and Tottenham.

However, 90min claims that Los Blancos do not view him as a key target.

And after seeing him in recent weeks, Chelsea and Arsenal would want to take advantage.

But he won’t come cheap, I promise.

It is rumored that in order to take him away from Feyenoord, the Prem duo will need to pay an Eredivisie record amount.

The current record is the £87 million that Manchester United spent for Antony when he moved from Ajax to Manchester United the previous year.

Gimenez and Feyenoord have a deal that runs through 2027.

Because of this, the team is well-positioned to negotiate his transfer fee.

Clubs will have to wait until next summer to try to sign him because it is believed that he will not be available in the January window.

Gimenez is not, however, the only striker for whom Chelsea and Arsenal are in competition.

It’s also thought that the London rivals are vying for Brentford and England player Ivan Toney.
