Arsenal ready to let first-team star leave this summer amid Milan talks but Mikel Arteta makes decision to keep Riccardo Calafiori

AC Milan

Arsenal

<p>Arsenal manager Arteta has no desire to sell Calafiori this summer but is willing to sanction an exit for Zinchenko, according to <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/arsenal-summer-transfers-mikel-arteta-35396967" target="_blank"><em>The Mirror</em></a>. Italy international Calafiori made a strong impression during his first season at the Emirates Stadium, though a number of injuries restricted his total appearances in all competitions to 29. AC Milan are said to be keen on bringing him back to his homeland, but such a move has been ruled out by Arteta.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Arteta seems content to let Zinchenko leave, however. The Ukraine international was a valuable utility player when he first signed from Manchester City in 2022, but Myles Lewis-Skelly's breakout campaign at left-back and Arsenal's strength in midfield restricted him to just 15 Premier League appearances last season, with only five coming as starts.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Massimiliano Allegri has returned to San Siro as manager and is eyeing a repeat of the Serie A title victory he earned with Milan back in 2010-11.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Arsenal are hoping to recruit a new striker during the summer transfer window and have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-threaten-walk-away-viktor-gyokeres-sporting-cp-price-hike-freeze-demands/bltbaa821c2c2439ed0" target="_blank">reportedly been in discussions with Sporting CP over Viktor Gyokeres</a>.</p>
