HERE WE GO: Arsenal finally complete the signing of £40m champions League winner,Club wants £50m but Arsenal finally arrived at £40m,player now in LONDON to undergo medical TODAY
After weeks of negotiations, Arsenal have finally secured the signing of a Champions League-winning star in a deal worth £40 million. The club had initially been quoted £50 million by the selling side but, after persistent talks and player desire to move, Arsenal reached a breakthrough at £40 million. The player is now in London and will undergo his medical later today before finalizing personal terms.
The Transfer Saga: From £50m to £40m
The deal has been one of the most closely followed stories of this transfer window. The unnamed Champions League winner, who was a key part of his club’s European success last season, was keen on making the switch to North London. The selling club remained firm on a £50 million valuation throughout initial talks, but Arsenal’s negotiating team remained patient.
After multiple rounds of negotiations and player intervention, a fee of £40 million was agreed late last night — allowing Arsenal to finally move ahead of several other clubs also monitoring the situation.
Key Quotes from the Press Conference
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta spoke with satisfaction at the club’s persistence paying off:
“This is a player we’ve admired for a long time. He’s a proven winner at the highest level, and I’m delighted we’ve managed to bring him to Arsenal.”
Sporting Director Andrea Berta explained how the club stayed disciplined in the negotiation:
“The market is challenging, but we stayed calm. We knew the player’s desire to come here and worked hard to strike a fair deal for both clubs.”
The player, speaking briefly to club media upon arrival in London, said:
“It feels amazing to be here. Arsenal is a huge club with a clear ambition to win titles, and I can’t wait to get started.”

Brings experience of winning Europe’s biggest prize
Has proven versatility, able to operate in multiple positions
Is entering his peak years and hungry for Premier League success
This addition is seen as a vital piece for Mikel Arteta as he looks to strengthen the team for both domestic and European campaigns next season.
