Decision time looms as Mikel Arteta considers major squad changes amid mounting injury frustrations—AC Milan circling.
Arsenal are on the verge of deciding Riccardo Calafiori’s future just a year after his £42 million arrival, according to insider Mick Brown. The Italian defender has missed 28 games since joining due to recurring knee and muscle injuries. With interest from Serie A clubs, notably AC Milan, and the rise of youngster Miles Lewis-Skelly pushing Calafiori down the pecking order, the Gunners may opt to sell if a similar fee is offered.
Arsenal are undergoing a squad overhaul this summer—Oleksandr Zinchenko, Nuno Tavares, and Albert Sambi Lokonga are also expected to depart. However, concerns about squad depth mean Arteta must balance financial recovery with maintaining quality.
A critical meeting is expected soon to determine whether to cash in or keep faith in the injury-plagued 22-year-old.
