Arsenal and the greats of Spain are jostling at the gate for this young nugget.
A former Maccabi Tel Aviv attacking midfielder, Gloukh has impressed since his €7 million move to Salzburg in January, scoring 12 goals, including Champions League strikes against Benfica and Inter Milan.
Estimated at 12 million euros, Gloukh could bring in much more with his current contract at the Red Bull Arena which runs until June 2027. Arsenal appear to be at the front of the line.
“ Despite interest from teams like FC Barcelona and Gloukh’s recent statements about Real Madrid showing his desire to wear their shirt at some point, Arsenal are the closest club to a deal at present »says Miguel Angel Miguel Casas, of Files.
Gloukh is an attacking midfielder who thrives as a number 10 but can also play on both sides in a three-man midfield, which appears to jeopardize Kai Havertz’s position.
Gloukh could very well have played for Barcelona instead, despite his penchant for Madrid, as he previously revealed.
“FC Barcelona only remembered me when everything was already closed with Salzburg“, he told Forbes Israel. “I have always been a Madrid fan. My biggest dream is to play at the Bernabeu with the Real jersey. That would be the pinnacle for me.”
Barça no longer has the financial means to act, while Real have Arda Guler who arrives behind Jude Bellingham in this position. Gloukh therefore seems to be a player for Arsenal.
