Reports have emerged that both Arsenal and Liverpool are keen on securing the services of Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori. The young Italian left-back has caught the eye of several top clubs with his impressive performances for his current side.
What makes Calafiori an even more attractive prospect is the fact that former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is said to regret letting him go during his time at Roma. The Portuguese manager, known for his astute eye for talent, is believed to have seen Calafiori’s potential early on and wishes he had kept hold of him.
Calafiori’s pace, defensive prowess, and attacking instincts have made him a standout performer in Serie A, and it is no wonder that two English giants like Arsenal and Liverpool are interested in securing his services. Both clubs are known for their attacking style of play, and Calafiori’s ability to get forward and contribute in the final third would be a valuable asset to either team.
It remains to be seen where Calafiori will end up, but one thing is for sure – he is a player on the rise, and his potential has not gone unnoticed by some of the biggest clubs in Europe. Mourinho’s regret may just be Arsenal or Liverpool’s gain as they look to bolster their defensive options in the upcoming transfer window.
