According to Operative Information Center-OMM, citing reports from Teamtalk, initial discussions regarding a potential transfer for the Italian international had reportedly commenced.
However, the management at the London-based club has responded swiftly to the interest from the "Royal Club." Arsenal officials remain committed to retaining the defender and have made it clear that they are not open to negotiations regarding his sale during the current transfer window.

Currently, the player's market value is estimated to be around 55 million euros. Arsenal's firm stance underscores their ambition to maintain a competitive squad as they continue to challenge for major domestic and European honors in the Premier League.
