Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori expresses a desire to return to Roma amid limited playing time under Mikel Arteta. Calafiori, who joined Arsenal from Bologna for £42 million in July 2024, has made 54 appearances, scoring four goals and providing five assists. After starting strong this season, his role diminishes since a muscle injury, with Piero Hincapie now preferred at left-back. Calafiori did not feature in recent wins over Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, fueling speculation about his future. He states, “I’d like to return to Roma sooner or later.” His contract runs until June 2029, but if Hincapie and Myles Lewis-Skelly maintain their spots, Calafiori could reevaluate his position by summer 2027. Meanwhile, Ben White also faces uncertainty at Arsenal, attracting interest from Everton and Newcastle United. Arsenal looks to bolster their defense, with potential targets including Matheuzinho, Tino Livramento, Michael Kayode, and Ivan Fresneda.
