Arteta sets his biggest goal
Arsenal are continuing their strong moves in the summer transfer market, with their sights set on one of the most high-profile deals of the season, stepping up their pursuit of Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes in a move that could spark competition between the two clubs in the coming days.
Arsenal are set to make a £70million bid for Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes. newspaper”The sun“British.
The Gunners are making a new midfielder their top priority in the summer transfer window, with the Brazil international a top target for manager Mikel Arteta.
Although Newcastle are sticking to their stance by refusing to sell the captain this summer, Arsenal are set to test the Magpies’ position with a financial offer of up to £70m.
There have been indirect talks through intermediaries earlier, suggesting the Premier League champions are willing to offer around £60m before deciding to raise the financial value in an attempt to convince Newcastle.
According to the report, Guimaraes has informed Newcastle officials of his desire to move to the Emirates Stadium, which is expected to accelerate the pace of negotiations between the two sides this week.
Despite Arsenal’s quiet start to the transfer market, the club completed a £34million deal for Club Brugge winger Christos Tsoulis yesterday (Thursday).
The London club have also decided to sign defender Piero Hincapie permanently for £34m after he spent last season on loan from Bayer Leverkusen, while signing goalkeeper Ilan Meslier on a free transfer.
On the other hand, Arsenal failed to secure the services of Morgan Rodgers, who moved to Chelsea in a £117 million deal.
Mikel Arteta has expressed his admiration for the England forward and named him among his most famous goals of the summer, but Arsenal’s management refused to match Chelsea’s huge financial offer, which prompted Aston Villa to agree to sell the player.
“Arsenal” management is still working to strengthen the ranks of the team before the transfer window closes, as they aim to acquire a defender, a midfielder and a forward, reports “The Sun” newspaper.
Ezri Konsa stands out as one of the most obvious candidates to strengthen the backline, especially after it was confirmed that William Saliba will be out for several months with a back injury. John Stones is also an option on the table for the club, especially after his contract with Manchester City expired at the end of last month.
Up front, Arsenal are continuing their interest in signing Julián Alvarez, but Atletico Madrid are sticking to their position, both publicly and behind the scenes, insisting the Argentine forward is not for sale.
On the other hand, Frenchman Bradley Barcola could leave PSG in the current transfer window, but Liverpool are the closest so far to sealing a deal and acquiring his services.
