“If he chose Arsenal over Liverpool, I’ll resign as a football coach…He’s the player we can’t afford to see him playing for them, they may become undefeatable with him”: Arne Slot angered by World-class player’s decision to join Arsenal as Liverpool increases bid to convince him from Arsenal transfer.
Juventus are expected to miss out on their primary target, Riccardo Calafiori, this summer. According to Fabrizio Romano, the center-back, who has also attracted interest from Liverpool, is now considering a move to the Premier League, with Arsenal close to finalizing a deal.
While nothing is confirmed yet, Arsenal have clearly expressed their interest in the 22-year-old. At the same time, Liverpool are seriously pursuing Leny Yoro, viewing the French defender as a key target, as reported by Ben Jacobs.
Liverpool’s focus might cost them Calafiori
It seems that Liverpool’s recruitment team doesn’t value Riccardo Calafiori as highly as Juventus, Chelsea, and Arsenal do.
If Liverpool has any interest in the Italian international, it would be unwise to allow him to join a league rival without contest, particularly while they are attempting to secure Leny Yoro, a target also pursued by Real Madrid.
Yoro, recognized as a generational talent, seems inclined towards a move to Real Madrid, with the Spanish giants negotiating with Lille over the transfer fee.
While Liverpool’s patience could eventually be rewarding, it carries significant risk and potential negative consequences.
It would be disappointing for Liverpool to see Calafiori head to London and Yoro join Madrid.
