Former Juventus defender, Leonardo Bonucci, has expressed disappointment that Riccardo Calafiori is moving to Arsenal.
Arsenal would be announcing the signing of Calafiori any moment from now after a superb Euro 2024 campaign, where he was a standout performer for Gli Azzurri.
Bonucci, a legend at Old Lady, wishes the Bologna defender had moved to his former side.
“I’m sorry about his transfer. I would have liked to see him at Juventus,” he told Sky Sports.
Juventus were seemingly frontrunners to sign the 22-year-old Italian left-back before the European Championships.
The tournament allowed Mikel Arteta’s side to get a glimpse at talent they were perhaps unaware of heading into the competition.
Arsenal have agreed on a deal with Bologna worth around €50 million (£42 million).
“He’s a defender who’s a little different to what we’re used to seeing…” he added.
