Edu receives boost over major Arsenal sale to continue Mikel Arteta’s £120m spending spree.
The dominoes are starting to fall at Arsenal as a number of exits are anticipated.
We were all probably accustomed to new signings showing up through the door every other week, but regrettably, there must also be departures for things to function.
At Arsenal, that’s exactly what will be occurring over the next several days and weeks, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to end there. Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko,
and Fabio Vieira are among the five acquisitions worth a combined total of almost £120 million that have already been made. However, Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu have both made it obvious that there may be more arrivals if the market permits them.
Because of this, the club must be successful in the remaining stages of the transfer window, and sales will be essential to bringing in more players. When discussing the next U.S. tour, Arteta emphasized the significance of focusing on outgoings due to his squad’s bloat, which has been brought on by recent incomings and the return of multiple loanees.
Because of the size of the roster, he said, “We have to make some judgments as well as be fair and straight with the players who we’re not going to be utilizing frequently, and that’s a process that is going to start very soon as well.” “We need to (offload). We have a sizable squad, and now it’s time to get things done.”
It didn’t take long for the procedure Arteta mentioned to start going; as many as three players are now visibly heading toward the departure door. According to numerous sources, Bernd Leno is on the verge of signing an £8 million first contract with Fulham.
Nuno Tavares is reportedly on the verge of signing a loan deal with Atalanta, and Fenerbahce is among the teams showing a lot of interest in Pablo Mari.
But after a potential breakthrough for his desired return to Real Betis arose, Hector Bellerin might soon join them. Journalist Cesar Luis Merlo of Argentina claims that Everton is interested in midfielder Guido Rodriguez of Betis. A previous approach has been made, but there hasn’t yet been a formal offer, it is stated.
It has been said thus far that the lack of movement in negotiations is due to Betis’s inability to raise the money needed to satisfy Arsenal’s demands for Bellerin.
Despite this, Rodriguez’s prospective sale would undoubtedly increase the likelihood of a transfer taking place because CIES Football Observatory values the player between £12.7m and £16.9m.
Bellerin has made it clear that a move back to Spain is his first option, so should Everton move forward with a deal, Betis should easily be able to raise the money to bring Bellerin back. All parties would benefit from it, and the Gunners would have even more room and money to continue their shopping binge this summer.
