Arsenal are moving forward. After a great 2022-23, the Gunners want to continue on this path this season. Especially since they will find the Champions League. To be competitive on all fronts, Londoners know that a successful transfer window is essential. They also know that they have to reduce the workforce which is today too important in the eyes of Mikel Arteta. This is the priority objective of their last week of transfer window.
Several English media, including the DailyMail, explain that they intend to part with around ten players and pocket around £100 million, or just over 117 million euros, thanks to their big sell-off. The Gunners are counting on the sale of Folarin Balogun, author of a successful loan to Reims last year, to fill their coffers. Arteta doesn’t count on the American, whose starting price has been set at a minimum of 58.5 million euros. But we expect it to be sold at a higher price since it is very popular.
Arsenal expect to collect a big check
Chelsea, Monaco, West Ham, Tottenham and many more clubs ticked his name. Gabriel Magalhaes can also leave. Quoted on the side of Real Madrid to compensate for the absence of Militão, which has been denied, the Brazilian is of interest to Saudi clubs. A departure is not excluded but Arsenal will have to find his replacement. Kieran Tierney is courted by Newcastle, Aston Villa and Real Socieidad. For his part, Brighton is targeting Albert Sambi Lokonga.
The Gunners are also awaiting offers for unwanted Rob Holding, Cedric Soares, Nuno Tavares and Nicolas Pepe. Regarding the Portuguese who was on loan at OM last year, they are hoping for a check for 25 million euros. Nottingham Forest have an eye on his case. For Pepe, a termination is considered. But nothing is done yet. Besiktas wants it back. Arsenal, which has already collected 46.8 million euros this summer thanks to the sales of Pablo Mari, Matt Turner and Auston Trusty, still intends to recover euros this summer.
