Arsenal will take out the checkbook
If Arsenal once again narrowly missed the crown in England, it is perhaps because the Gunners did not have a serial scorer. Well this Friday morning, the Kingdom’s press tells us that Arsenal want to change that next season. And the London club has set its sights on Benjamin Sesko, the RB Leipzig player. THE Daily Mirror reports that “Sesko wants to become a big player”and it could go through the Emirates Stadium. “He is in favor of a move to Arsenal this summer. RB Leipzig striker Sesko is being courted by a host of clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, while there is also strong interest from Italy. The Gunners will, however, have to give up £45 million, or more than €52 million. Mikel Arteta’s team still seems to have a head start in this matter despite the strong competition.
Inter breathes
Speaking of a scorer, Lautaro Martinez could have perfectly fit the profile sought by Arsenal, like many other clubs who are looking for a formidable scorer. Except that the Argentinian is no longer available. For several months, Inter Milan has been looking to extend its striker, currently under contract until 2026. And this time, that’s it, the internal club is reaching the goal. There Gazzetta dello Sport announces that “Lautaro says yes” ! “There will soon be a new meeting between the club and the player to agree on a contract extension.” The daily indicates that the club’s latest proposal rises to €10 million per year including bonus. “The ball is now in the attacker’s court, who asks for 12.” In any case, Inter can breathe and see the future with peace of mind because the Argentine striker still sees himself in the colors of the Nerazzurri.
Hansi Flick has a first request
THE Mundo Deportivo tells us that Hansi Flick is already hard at work and that he has some ideas for his Barça. It is “Flick’s painting. The new coach is already planning his Barça, with a 4-2-3-1 formation which can be converted into 4-3-3. His style of play suggests he will move from Xavi’s square to an inverted triangle with two pivots and a playmaker. An entire program ! But the Blaugrana club will also have to manage important files including that of Ronald Araujo who is the “priority” like the placard Sport. “He is essential for Hansi Flick’s next project at Barça and the coach has asked that he not be transferred. The club has decided to reactivate negotiations with the Uruguayan defender with the aim of improving his salary. The message has gotten through.
