The fact we are preparing a second offer leads me to believer that BG has asked for a move or told his agents to try and make it work.
9/10 times when a club says “we aren’t negotiating” but the club continues to offer makes it sound like we’ve had a positive response from BG
Arsenal remain in discussions over potential swoop for Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes with fresh offer set to arrive. Arsenal also explored move for Sandro Tonali. https://t.co/aL2faYOkTm
It’s really harsh on Gyok, I don’t think he’s been bad at all tbh. He ghosted early season then locked in during the run in but idk man I wouldn’t mind keeping Gyok or signing Alvarez.
Julian Alvarez Update
If you remember, I stated there was another attacker I chose to keep anonymous. That player was indeed Julian Alvarez. The reason I said it was sensitive was because one of our players (Gyökeres) was potentially involved but let me just provide the facts for Arsenal fans. To my understanding the following statements are 100% factual.
• The players dream is Barca (personal terms agreed already)
• Barca have always wanted Julian to go public with his desire to force Atleti's position
• Atleti are adamant they will not to sell to Barca and would rather sell abroad but it wont stop Barca from trying
• PSG to my understanding left the race due to Campos / Enrique not wanting a player who doesn’t absolutely prioritise them but I wont be shocked if they return due to the players quality
• Julian has been a target for Arsenal since last summer
• After our group stage game Arteta made it clear we must atleast be in the race for the Argentine
• I can 100% confirm Atleti have interest in Viktor Gyökeres
• Andrea Berta has maintained contacts with the camp since last summer and has explored 'different structures & mechanisms' to bring Julian Alvarez to North London in the recent months…
• Reports about 'the English weather' being a reason Julian and his family would not return to England are absolutely false.
• The player would be very open to joining Arsenal and has directly told us should his dream to Barca become impossible
• Arsenal are yet to officially formalise their interest but Atleti are well aware of our interest.
The situation is chaotic but my role is to provide the absolute facts to the best of my knowledge in real time not predict the future. Its difficult enough tracking Berta and his 1000 spinning plates technique, its even harder when he silently speaks to ex-colleagues at Atleti with whom he has a lot of trust with but I have presented the facts. Genuinely feel a lot of relief talking about this all as its been exhausting to track for 14 months. I need to sleep now as I have been awake all night contacting sources 😂
Gabriel Martinelli on former Arsenal team-mate Kieran Tierney:
"He's my guy. He's one of the best guys I've met in football. He's so kind and so humble as well. So rapid! We used to joke who was the quickest in the sessions, in my opinion it was always him... I'm always cheering for him." ❤️
This one will break my heart. Genuinely love the guy, I never want to see him wearing another clubs shirt but I’d understand if we need to.

🚨 @SamiMokbel_BBC: “There have been some whispers over the summer that Arsenal might be interested in letting Martin Ødegaard go for the right price.” 🤯🇳🇴 [@LatteFirm]
I’ve maintained for ages that Morocco are nowhere near as good as they think they are and I think last night proved it.
Supposedly the sixth best team in the world getting more than their fair share of decisions going their way (not the first time either) labouring to hold on to a 1-0 lead against Scotland ranked nearly 40 spots behind them.
Tottenham are the biggest sleeping giants in football. It’s about time we started spending like the big boys on not only transfer fees but wages.
Give De Zerbi the keys.
Arsenal and Tottenham are interested in signing Mason Greenwood (24), with Marseille needing to sell this summer - the details. (L'Éq) ⬇️
