English Premier League side Arsenal are close to agreeing a deal in principle with Bologna over the signing of defender Riccardo Calafiori.
Bologna have been holding out for €50m (£42.2m) as discussions continue over a payment structure and clauses.
Personal terms are not expected to be a problem. Calafiori’s former club Basel stand to make 50 per cent of Bologna’s profit on any deal.
Bologna bought him last summer for €4m (£3.4m).
