Former Arsenal CAPTAIN about to join Chelsea
Arsenal & Chelsea have by far the worst rivalry in the Premier league, all they do is exchange players😭
🚨🇫🇷 EXCL: Paris Saint-Germain are leading the race ahead of two Premier League clubs for Maghnes Akliouche.
French talent expected to be among next stars to move this summer with talks and approaches intensifying.
AS Monaco expect bids soon.
🚨🔐 Elliot Anderson’s contract at Man City valid until June 2031 is closed and done, after medical in NY.
The agreement includes an option to extend until June 2032.
As far as I am aware this is what has been going on. Arsenal were interested in Fernandes / Tonali / Pablo Barrios (exclusive). When Tonali was offered to us at the end of January, it peaked everyone's interest at the club. Berta kept in contact as did City. It became clear the deal was not feasible due to Newcastle wanting £85m or even more. To further add, the agent fees are incroyable. Barrios was not available for several reasons. Fernandes is heavily involved with Jorge Mendes and it became quickly apparent that there would be a bidding war at a minimum of £85m. It has now even been stated, 'whoever pays the most can have him'.
Berta then made contact multiple times to explore the situation of Alex Scott, the interest is real and there was a feeling a potential bargain could be secured around £65m. Bournemouth began to panic while Alex Scott was out in the USA with the England pre camp and want to rush to secure a renewal for Scott with a possible release clause. Their stance currently is he is not for sale at any price.
Is it becoming apparent we have approximated budget for the midfielder? (Investing in other areas)
As for Bruno G let me clarify… Berta made contact with his camp via Kia. A loose offer below £60m was floated to Newcastle via these middle men to understand their appetite for any deal. Newcastle say he is not for sale. Kia being involved is something you must keep an eye on for reasons every Arsenal fan should be aware of. When an offer is serious, it is officially submitted to the club hence me saying Newcastle have had no contact yet from Arsenal as of 9am. Newcastle will not lose both of their midfielders, so maybe Berta tried a cheeky offer before the Tonali deal has gone through. Until a serious offer is presented or our budget changes, we wait.
Arsenal have contacted the likes of Bouaddi / Kone and others I don’t want to discuss yet but no one else is providing these step by step updates and its incredibly exhausting. Personally think Bouaddi or Bruno would be incredible.
Kia Joorabchian is heavily involved in all the noise you hear about Bruno G.
Newcastle are yet to receive any contact from Arsenal.
If the player pushes and we make a serious offer, I will update. Until then just chill out.
Man City: We have Elliot Anderson
Chelsea: We have Moises Caicedo
Arsenal: We have Declan Rice
Liverpool: We have Ryan Gravenberch
Manchester United: We also have Ederson from Brazil that used to play for Atalanta.
