Sky Sport Italia reports that Arsenal and Manchester United are leading Juventus and Milan in the race for Riccardo Calafiori and Joshua Zirkzee.
Serie A giants Juventus and Milan will likely miss out on two of their priority summer targets. Calafiori for the Bianconeri and Zirkzee for the Rossoneri.
Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, in fact, has reported that Arsenal are leading the race for the Italian centre-back while Manchester United are in the front row for the Dutch striker.

Bologna director Giovanni Sartori has predicted that Calafiori won’t join Juventus and will probably move abroad this summer even if the Rossoblu want to keep him.
Several Premier League clubs are also keen on Calafiori, but according to Di Marzio, Arsenal’s interest is the ‘most concrete’ from foreign clubs.
Likewise, his teammate Zirkzee is closer to joining Manchester United than Milan.
The Rossoneri are ready to pay Zirkzee’s €40m clause but not €15m commission to his agent, Kia Joorabchian, while the Red Devils are the most interested, especially after a direct contact between the Rossoblu star and Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag.
