This is all going down as the summer window approaches. What once looked stable is now slowly shifting. A lot of interest from many sides are coming in from across Europe. Riccardo Calafiori \u2019s future is no longer completely certain. The coming weeks could decide whether he stays or moves on with his future.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-interest-builds-around-riccardo-calafiori-and-his-future\">Interest Builds Around Riccardo Calafiori and His Future<\/h2>\n<p>Riccardo Calafiori\u2019s future at Arsenal is starting to attract serious attention. Top European clubs are now watching his situation closely. Italian and Spanish teams are interested. This includes giants like Inter Milan and Barcelona. They are keeping track of his progress and whereabouts.<\/p>\n<p>People has noticed his development. He has an ability to adapt to different defensive roles. This has made him a very valuable option for many clubs. Especially the clubs that are looking to strengthen their backline. <\/p>\n<p>The growing interest comes despite Arsenal not actively looking to sell. The club still see him as an important part of their defensive plans. They have made it very clear internally that they would prefer to keep him.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/arsenal\/riccardo-calafiori-transfer-exit-accelerates-inter-barcelona-liverpool\">According to sources<\/a>people within the club believe that he can grow into a key player over time. This is because he shows composure on the ball. Arsenal\u2019s long-term project relies on players like him. This is the only reason that they are not rushing into any decision.<\/p>\n<p>However, transfer stories have gained pace because of two key factors. The competition for places and the player\u2019s own long term ambitions. There are many defenders fighting for starting spots in the team. <\/p>\n<p>Because of this, the team does not guarantee proper game time. While nothing confirms it yet, the situation is slowly becoming one to watch as the summer approaches<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-riccardo-calafiori-competition-and-career-questions\">Riccardo Calafiori: Competition and Career Questions<\/h2>\n<p>Calafiori joined the Gunners with high expectations. He had a good spell in Italy. This is where he established himself as one of the best defenders in Serie A. He has the ability to play both as a centre back and a left back. This makes him a very valuable addition to the squad.<\/p>\n<p>There has been an increased competition in defence. This has made it harder for him to secure a consistent starting role. This has naturally led to questions, like how will his development in the <strong>Premier League<\/strong> will continue.<\/p>\n<p>The playtime issue is a big problem. The player has very openly spoken about his connection to Italy. Especially his former club Roma, where he began his career. He has admitted that a return is something he would consider in the future. He has called it <strong><em>\u201cunfinished business.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the same time, clubs like Liverpool FC and Barcelona are also keeping an eye on him. This adds another layer. With multiple <strong>football<\/strong> teams interested, the decision may not just be about leaving Arsenal. But he has to choose the right next step.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Arsenal FC\" class=\"wp-image-188206 ewww_webp_lazy_load\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-151.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-151-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-151-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-151.jpg\" src-webp=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-151.jpg.webp\" srcset-webp=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-151.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-151-600x338.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-151-768x432.jpg.webp 768w\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-151.jpg\" alt=\"Arsenal FC\" class=\"wp-image-188206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-151.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-151-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-151-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-arsenal-s-stance-and-summer-implications\">Arsenal\u2019s Stance and Summer Implications<\/h2>\n<p>Despite all the talks, <strong>Arsenal\u2019s<\/strong> position remains strong. The club have no immediate plans to sell Riccardo Calafiori. They are still a big believer in his long term ability. His contract runs for several more years. This obviously gives Arsenal full control over any possible transfer discussions.<\/p>\n<p>For the Gunners, this is also about balance. They need to keep a strong squad. All this while making sure that the players remain happy with their roles. <\/p>\n<p>Limited chances can make the player feel restricted. This could help push the situation. This could be toward a possible exit. Looking ahead, the summer transfer window could become a key moment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"preferred-source-box\" style=\"margin-top:40px;padding:25px;background: #1865b4;border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:8px;text-align:center;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size:24px;margin-bottom:10px;color:#fff;\">ENJOYED THIS STORY?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:20px;color:#fff;\">\n<p>                    Add Six Sports as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reporting\n                <\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" style=\"max-width:260px;height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/img\/google-trusted-source\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.webp\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/img\/google-trusted-source\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.webp\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" style=\"max-width:260px;height:auto;\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"fe-author-box\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<div class=\"fe-author-avatar\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/85f3fe75dfd4830d2b5bad2f5e4558c1e496a685f352a97aa1e81ee53f59faf5?s=200&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-100 photo\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/85f3fe75dfd4830d2b5bad2f5e4558c1e496a685f352a97aa1e81ee53f59faf5?s=100&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/85f3fe75dfd4830d2b5bad2f5e4558c1e496a685f352a97aa1e81ee53f59faf5?s=100&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/85f3fe75dfd4830d2b5bad2f5e4558c1e496a685f352a97aa1e81ee53f59faf5?s=200&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-100 photo\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" decoding=\"async\"\/>    <\/div>\n<div class=\"fe-author-content\">\n<h2 class=\"fe-author-name\" itemprop=\"name\">\n<p>                Aarya Sikder<br \/>\n        <\/h2>\n<p class=\"fe-author-bio\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p>                Aarya Sikder is a Football Writer at Six Sports, contributing articles on football match developments, player performances, and news from across the football world.
