Arsenal has officially signed Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna, finalizing a package deal worth up to €50 million, including add-ons and a sell-on clause.

The agreement, reached last June, includes a five-year contract for the 21-year-old left-back, without any options for extensions.

Both clubs began exchanging the necessary documents last Saturday, sealing the transfer that had been in the works for several weeks.

Calafiori is set to sign his new contract with Arsenal this week.

The Italian defender will join Arsenal’s pre-season tour in the United States, where he will undergo his medical examination.

Arsenal fans eagerly await his integration into the squad, hoping his addition will bolster their defensive lineup for the upcoming season.
