DBasia.news – Arsenal reportedly prepared £ 100 million to recruit three of the top players in the transfer market this summer.
The three players are Thomas Partey, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Dani Ceballos – who the Gunners had borrowed from Real Madrid last season. This was stated by SunSport.
However, to smoothen this desire, Mikel Arteta’s club must sell at least three players who are in their current squad, then spend a few million Pounds more from their cash to be able to fund the massive transfer.
That means Lucas Torreira, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Matteo Guendouzi, and Shkodran Mustafi can join Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Mohamed Elneny towards the Emirates exit.
With the arrival of Chelsea winger Willian on a free transfer, who is only a step away, Arteta has turned his attention to strengthen the midfield area and the defense of his squad at Arsenal.
Atletico player Thomas Partey has been linked with The Gunners’ transfer plan for months. The Ghanaian star appeared to want to switch to the Premier League after nine years at the Spanish giant.
However, the 27-year-old midfielder has a £45m release clause on his contract. Atletico also urged The Gunners to pay all the values required to get this flagship.
Arteta also wants Brazilian Lille player Gabriel Magalhaes, who was targeted by former Gunners coach Unai Emery last season before the club finally brought in William Saliba.
Arsenal will have to face Everton and Napoli, who are ready to make offers to Magalhaes this summer. However, one thing is in Arteta’s favor, the 22-year-old defender wants to catch up with his former Lille teammate, Nicholas Pepe, despite his desire to be able to play alongside other Brazilian stars, such as Willian, David Luiz, and Gabriel Martinelli.
Meanwhile, The Gunners are continuing to try reaching an agreement with Real Madrid over loan player Dani Ceballos. Now, Ceballos’ loan contract is over, and the North London club are looking to loan Ceballos another season with a permanent option next summer.
Unfortunately, Madrid want to sell the Spanish midfielder in the transfer market this time, and asked for 30 million GBP.
