“This move is a great effort from our team and we welcome Riccardo to the Arsenal family.”
Roma’s squad, he claimed, was not deep enough to compete. “The three defenders I had on the bench were (Bryan) Reynolds, (Marash) Kumbulla and (Riccardo) Calafiori,” he said. Mourinho then paused for effect. He bobbled his head, raised his eyebrows and made a clicking sound to let it sink in.
“We have selected Riccardo as part of our strategy to ยูฟ่าเบท sign players with the right attributes for the team and who will strengthen our game at the highest level. At just 22, he has quality and experience and will develop rapidly as an Arsenal player.”
“Ricciardo has shown his quality with regular appearances for club and country. He was one of the best players in Serie A last season and impressed for Italy at Euro 2024.”
“Miguel and our coaches are excited to start working with Riccardo and we are all looking forward to seeing him in our jersey,” Edu said.
