Riccardo Calafiori isn\u2019t a lock to stay at Arsenal in the summer, and Inter and Juventus are ready to throw their hats into the ring to bring him back to Serie A. Chelsea are also keen, but the Gunners might not want to send him to their rivals, Caught Offside<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n The defender isn\u2019t playing as consistently as he would like, as he\u2019s been leapfrogged in the pecking order by Piero Hincapi\u00e9 and Myles Lewis-Skelly. He hasn\u2019t asked out, but he\u2019s open to transferring. The 23-year-old has made 29 appearances this season, missing about a month due to a muscular injury. He has started just twice since mid-February.<\/p>\n Inter have reached out to the entourage of Calafiori and see him as a potential replacement for Alessandro Bastoni, but Juventus are plotting an attempt as well. Their owner would like to recreate an Italian backbone, La Gazzetta dello Sport<\/em> informs.<\/p>\n The chase won\u2019t be easy for the two Serie A franchises. Arsenal shelled out \u20ac44M plus add-ons for the former Bologna star, and his valuation hasn\u2019t decreased. The Bianconeri<\/em>\u2019s rearguard could be in flux in the summer. The officials are looking for at least one starting-caliber player, while one or two of their current contributors, including the fixtures, could be on their way out for financial reasons.<\/p>\n The chances of the two Italian sides will solely hinge on his price tag, as it\u2019ll be very challenging if it gets too high. He\u2019ll predictably have other deep-pocketed suitors abroad if he and the Gunners decide it\u2019s best to part ways. Going from Bastoni to Calafiori would be an interesting transition and could make sense if the numbers are right. Instead, he\u2019d work better as a fullback in Luciano Spalletti\u2019s four-man line.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Calafiori, Inter, and Juventus<\/h3>\n
