Real Madrid remain alert to market opportunities and have once again set their sights on Riccardo Calafiori, one of the rising stars of European football. The Italian defender has successfully overcome a serious knee injury and returned to top form in the final stretch of the season, reigniting the interest of the Spanish giants.

One of the key reasons why Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on Riccardo Calafiori is his impressive performances in the Champions League with Arsenal. Despite facing stiff competition in the English side, the Italian centre-back has managed to earn significant playing time, proving he is ready to compete at the highest level.

His game is not only defined by his defensive solidity, but also by his ability to push forward and his tactical intelligence—qualities that fit perfectly with Madrid's style of play. His versatility allows him to play both as a central defender and a left-back, something Carlo Ancelotti highly values to strengthen his defensive options.

At just 22 years old, Calafiori has shown he is a player with tremendous potential. After beginning his career at Roma and developing further in Italian football, his move to the Premier League was a major step forward. Now, with more international experience, he has established himself as one of the most exciting defensive prospects in the transfer market.

Beyond his defensive prowess, the Italian centre-back stands out for his leadership on the pitch and his fearless approach when facing the world's best forwards. Madrid are in search of a defender with strong character, and Calafiori seems to fit that profile perfectly.

According to Fichajes.net, Arsenal are reluctant to part ways with Riccardo Calafiori, considering him a key figure for their future. However, his market value is estimated at around €80 million, a figure Real Madrid could negotiate if they are serious about signing him.

Florentino Perez and the club's board understand that strengthening the defence is a top priority for next season. With players like David Alaba and Eder Militao recovering from injuries and uncertainty surrounding the futures of Nacho Fernandez and Antonio Rudiger, Madrid need quality reinforcements in their back line.

Real Madrid continue their search for reinforcements

Riccardo Calafiori is not the only player on Real Madrid's radar for the upcoming transfer window. The club are actively scouting options to strengthen various areas of the squad, always aiming to maintain a team capable of competing at the highest level in Europe.

Although no formal offer has been made yet, the Italian defender is already on Madrid's agenda. It remains to be seen whether the Spanish club will push forward with negotiations and whether Arsenal would be open to a deal. One thing is certain—Calafiori is now a serious target for Los Blancos and could become one of the major signings of the summer.
