Arsenal set to turn down any offers from Serie A for defender this summer
Gennaro Gattuso is looking for young talent to build the future of the Azzuri’s squad around. There has been plenty of names which are younger and can come into the team. However, so far only one has been able to do so and hold their spot in the side. Riccardo Calafiori has been the only one able to do so currently.
Calafiori rise to stardom was at his time with Bologna under Thiago Motta. Bologna made a push and managed to qualify for the Champions League in his last season their. His top form saw him in make a move to join Arsenal the summer after, this was despite serious interest from Juventus.

Juventus are now hopeful to make a move to try and sign Calafiori once again. However, this time they aren’t the only Serie A team interested with, Napoli, AC Milan and Inter Milan all keeping track of Calafiori. This has come as he has struggled a little bit for gametime this season.
It has been rare to see Calafiori to play a full ninety minutes for Arsenal this season. He has either been a key option off the bench for Mikel Arteta or started and be bought off before completing the full 90. This is what lead to the rumours of Calafiori moving back to Serie A.
However, according to TEAMtalk a deal for Calafiori to leave Arsenal is now unlikely. Arsenal have blocked any move for Calafiori as they aim to keep him in North London past this season. They also have no reason to sell Calafiori as he is not unhappy with the club.

It is one of the main reasons that Alisson is open to making a move for Juventus. He also wants to have one more chance as a top European club, before making a move somewhere else to slow down before retirement, This has lead him to agreeing on a three year deal with Juventus.
Alisson three year deal will be worth, 4.5 million euros per season which is a figure that Juventus can afford to pay. Meanwhile, this is not all that needs to be done to complete a deal. Juventus will also have to agree to terms with Liverpool, who are willing to let Alisson go for 15-20 million euros.

Romleu Lukaku future with Napoli uncertain as a move back to Milan looms
This season has been one of the worst for Romelu Lukaku in his professional career. He started this season picking up an injury in pre season, which would see him delay the start of his season’s by three months. Lukaku would miss an additional two month not returning for Napoli until they played Juventus in January.
His recovery would keep him coming off the bench, playing pinch minutes for most of the rest of the season. This would see Lukaku score only one goal this season against Hellas Verona, as he missed more time with continuous injuries would plague his recovery.

Lukaku’s latest injury came while on international duty with the Belgian national team last month. This sparked controversy as he didn’t return to Naples for recovery until almost three weeks after it happened. Napoli’s relationship with Lukaku was soured because of this as they wanted him back immediately for recovery.
When, Lukaku did finally return he ignored Antonio Conte only speaking to the club backroom staff. Conte and Lukaku have been know to be inseparable in the past with Conte signing him for Inter Milan and now Napoli. At the same time, Rasmus Hojlund has been an excellent fill in to Lukaku as he has scored 10 league goals in 29 games.

This could lead to Napoli looking to sell Lukaku this summer to get rid of the problem all together. Matteo Moretto is now reporting that Lukaku could look to make a move back to Milan this summer. This comes as he has enjoyed the lifestyle there in the past.
However, a move to Inter Milan is unlikely as they have their four strikers set. Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Pio Esposito and Ange Yoan Bonny is a solid core for Cristian Chivu. But, AC Milan do need a striker and Lukaku could be an option as Massimiliano Allegri wants a more conventional number nine.
