"I'd like to return to Roma sooner or later. Obviously, we can't plan our career now, but yes, I can imagine it. Also, because I left halfway, everything started out really well: goals, I even had the chance to play a bit more."
"Then, for various reasons, I first went on loan and then they sold me. It definitely didn't go as I'd hoped, for several reasons. Returning also to celebrate under the Curva Sud? That's also why."
Riccardo Calafiori, who joined Arsenal from Bologna for £42 million in July 2024, has publicly discussed a potential return to Roma amid limited playing opportunities. Initially a regular starter, Calafiori has struggled for minutes since recovering from a muscle injury, with Piero Hincapie establishing himself as the preferred left-back. The Italian defender, who can play centre-back or left-back, faces stiff competition for places, as Gabriel and William Saliba occupy the centre-back positions while Myles Lewis-Skelly also competes for left-back duties. Calafiori stated he would like to return to Roma eventually, reflecting on his previous departure to Basel in 2022 and expressing nostalgia for playing under the Curva Sud.
