"I'd like to return to Roma sometime. Obviously, it's not like we can plan our careers now, but yes, I guess. Also because I left it half-done; it all started very well: goals, I also had the chance to play a little more. Then for various reasons I first went on loan and then they sold me."
Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal's Italian defender signed from Bologna last summer, has publicly stated his interest in returning to Roma, his boyhood club. The 23-year-old feels he has unfinished business in the Italian capital after his previous stint was cut short by loans and a permanent move to Basel in 2022. At Arsenal, Calafiori started the 2025/26 season strongly, demonstrating versatility in Arteta's inverted system. However, he has recently fallen down the pecking order following the arrival of Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen and fitness issues including a back injury in February. Despite 17 Premier League starts this season, Calafiori has been an unused substitute in recent matches against Manchester United and Tottenham.
