Arsenal are planning to discuss a contract extension with Riccardo Calafiori in 2027. The Italian defender is regarded as a vital player in Mikel Arteta's vision and is reportedly content at the club.
The Gunners' sporting director, Andrea Berta, is set to initiate talks with the player's representatives next year. Calafiori is viewed by the club hierarchy as an ‘irreplaceable’ asset for Arteta's long-term plans.
The player himself is pleased with his situation at Arsenal, viewing the club as a dream destination. This positive relationship suggests that a mutual agreement could be reached without any major hurdles.
While negotiations have yet to commence, they are scheduled to kick off in 2027, with reports indicating that the club is optimistic about the discussions proceeding smoothly.
