Riccardo Calafiori has expressed gratitude to Arsenal fans as his future at the club appears uncertain.
His transfer from Bologna last summer came with high hopes, with many expecting him to secure the left-back role. Unfortunately, persistent injuries limited him to just 17 Premier League appearances. The rise of youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly has further reduced his chances of regular playing time under Mikel Arteta.
Calafiori recently returned in Arsenal’s defeat to PSG—his first match since March 12—coming off the bench in a losing effort. Following the game, he posted a brief message on Instagram: “Thanks for everything,” sparking speculation about an imminent exit.
Reports from Football Insider suggest Arsenal are open to selling the 22-year-old, who has struggled with knee issues since his £42 million move in July 2024. AC Milan is said to be monitoring the situation closely.
Though he recorded 2 goals and an assist in 927 minutes this season, Arsenal may choose to cash in if they can recover their investment. His playing style may be better suited to a back five system like those often used in Serie A, rather than Arsenal’s preferred flat back four.
