🚨Mourinho no considera imprescindible al brasileño para su nuevo Real Madrid. El club no forzará su salida, pero tampoco cerrará la puerta a una “buena” oferta.
El club no puede pagarle 80M€ de Prima de fichaje ni darle el 80% de los derechos de imagen
🚨 BREAKING: Arsenal set to bid for Piero Hincapie, who favours a move to the Emirates Stadium over Spurs.

Nico Williams…
As you are all aware he has been Arteta’s obsession for many moons now. Within the decision chambers at Arsenal this player is viewed to having “superstar” potential.
Let me cut to the chase though…
As reported, Andrea Berta has also held discussions with Félix Tainta (agent). It is my understanding Berta has received encouragement when discussing a variety of wage / bonus combinations. Talks are still at a very early stage but Nico is very open to joining Arsenal more than ever before.
The second and contrary to public opinion is the more difficult part… the release clause in the region of £50.6m. If you think Brighton’s Tony Bloom or Napoli’s De Laurentiis are tough negotiator’s then let me introduce you to their final boss version…Jon Uriarte the President of Athletic Club. When Barcelona attempted to offer instalments last summer, Deco received an emphatic NO. This is where in my opinion Berta will earn his money….
Paying £50.6m upfront in the modern era is an eye watering amount if you ask any football finance expert. Clubs will always try to spread costs but Arsenal have serious firepower this summer.
Can Andrea Berta engineer a successful Basque heist? That is the £50.6 million pound question.
More to follow soon.
Jorginho and Flamengo are very close to an agreement on personal terms for a pre-contract. He would join Flamengo in summer 2025 with a 3-year deal until 2028. José Boto, working on it. Arsenal are not open to let him go in winter: a replacement would be needed. 🇮🇹🔴⚫️ #Flamengo #AFC
After the injury to Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal still hope to strengthen their attack this month. With long-term targets like Benjamin Sesko looking unattainable, they are now considering alternative targets. [@David_Ornstein@gunnerblog]
