REPORT: Saudi Arabia are set to hand Arsenal a ‘perfect’ transfer window after a whopping sum of almost £130M was offered to Arsenal in exchange for FOUR Arsenal stars- No other PL club earned up to 100M from sales last summer- Mikel Arteta to decide
Arsenal may soon receive enticing offers from Saudi Pro League clubs for two prominent players in Mikel Arteta’s squad. These lucrative proposals could lead to significant departures from the team.
Arsenal’s summer plans, orchestrated by sporting director Edu and manager Mikel Arteta, are already in progress. Edu has openly discussed the club’s transfer targets, emphasizing the importance of careful planning and player selection. In an interview with TNT, Edu explained that Arsenal’s goal is to improve each year, focusing on young, energetic, and talented players who fit the club’s vision.
Edu acknowledged the fans’ expectations and assured them that the club has already identified its targets. He highlighted the importance of creating and scoring goals, stating that Arsenal’s strategy is to continually enhance their squad. He mentioned that the club sometimes needs to move on from players who don’t align with their goals, aiming to find the right fit for their team.
Reports suggest that Arsenal might break their summer transfer record in the upcoming window, potentially surpassing the £208 million spent last year. Edu and Arteta are reportedly in pursuit of a prolific striker and a central midfielder. Speculation surrounds the futures of Gabriel Jesus and Thomas Partey, two key players who might be on the move.
Gabriel Jesus, who joined from Manchester City for around £45 million in the summer of 2022, has managed eight goals and seven assists across all competitions this season. His position could be at risk if Arsenal secures a new striker, such as rumored target Viktor Gyokeres.
Thomas Partey, whose contract expires next year, is another player Arsenal might sell for the right offer. Partey was signed from Atletico Madrid for his full £45 million buy-out clause in 2020 and has been a valuable asset to the team. However, his time at Arsenal might be coming to an end.
Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly considering lucrative offers for both Jesus and Partey. These offers aim to lure the duo away from Arsenal, as Saudi teams seek to bolster their league with high-profile players. According to GiveMeSport, Arsenal is open to considering these offers, which could help fund new acquisitions for the 2024/25 season.
If Jesus and Partey do depart, it will be interesting to see how Arsenal reinvests the funds to strengthen their squad. Their potential exits could pave the way for significant upgrades, positioning the club for a strong campaign in the upcoming season.
