DBasia.news – Arsenal failed to bring in the dream player, Dusan Vlahovic, who chose to join Juventus. Apparently, this is the third time the Gunners have failed to bring in a player who in the end joined La Vecchia Signora.
The story began when Arsenal targeted Federico Chiesa who played brilliantly with Fiorentina. Financially, the Gunners are ready to fulfill the wishes of La Viola.
However, these advantages do not necessarily make Arsenal a leader. Chiesa chose to stay in Italy and defend Juventus. The transfer was completed with details of a one-season loan plus an obligation to redeem 40 million euros.
Next, Arsenal again faced with Juve in the transfer market. This time, the player up for grabs is Manuel Locatelli. The midfielder’s name is on the rise following his impressive performances in the midfield for the Italian national team and Sassuolo.
Like the previous story, Arsenal are willing to fulfill Sassuolo’s request, which costs the former AC Milan 40 million euros. However, this time the player’s desire to make a difference again.
Juve became the winner despite coming with a lower bid. The Bianconeri only spent 25 million euros to get Locatelli.
Most recently, Arsenal lost for the umpteenth time to Juventus after failing to get Dusan Vlahovic. Even though Arsenal have prepared 75 million euros, Vlahovic still chooses Juve.
To make matters worse, Express reported that Mikel Arteta’s attempts to convince Vlahovic to move to Arsenal did not get the response he had hoped for. The striker had no intention of picking up the phone from the coach.
Not surprisingly, questions arise about the reason why Arsenal often lose competitiveness in the transfer market. The prestige of the team and the declining achievement are considered to be two of the influential factors.
