Jose Mourinho reportedly wants Real Madrid to pursue Riccardo Calafiori, the Arsenal defender he previously signed for Roma before a knee injury shortened his Roma stint. Calafiori, now 24, has established himself as a top Premier League defender and played a key role in Arsenal’s first title in 22 years. The move, hinted by Fabrizio Romano, aims to address past regrets, but prying Calafiori away from North London could be challenging given his positive standing within the squad. Mourinho is expected to return to Real Madrid this summer, contingent on Florentino Perez’s upcoming elections.
Key highlights:
– Mourinho seeks a Real Madrid transfer for Riccardo Calafiori, a player he previously sold from Roma.
– Calafiori rebuilt his career post-injury and contributed to Arsenal’s recent league title.
– Real Madrid’s summer plans hinge on presidential elections, with Calafiori’s availability a potential factor.
