Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta is reportedly reviewed by the team to increase his moving budget this summer.
Arsenal are close to signing Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes for 27 million pounds to their defensive options.
With the signing, the north London club’s summer expenses will be around 35 million pounds, which already have Flamengo Pablo Mari for 8 million pounds.
If Arteta needs to strengthen her team further, she will first have to sell players to increase the budget due to the effect of the coronavirus.
And for Express, the Spaniard will pass up to 15 players this summer.
The list includes Frenchman Matteo Gufinishouzi, who connected with Barcelona after being eliminated by Arteta towards the end of the season.
Midfielder Lucas Torreira is also on the list. Torreira is still priced despite her inability for a normal first-team team in the Emirates. Lazio, Roma and Fiorentina are interested in the 24-year-old.
There are a multitude of defenders who may be made to be transferred. Rob Holding and Calum Chambers are eligible to leave and are lately being followed through the newly promoted Fulham.
Sokratis Papastathopoulos has been promoted to move to Naples after falling in the most sensible order during the summer. The return of the possible signature of William Saliba and Gabriel means that their chances of betting have been considerably reduced.
Another player who would possibly be in a position to pass this movement window is Ainsley Maitland-Niles. He has been named as one of the players to consider in the long run, but Arsenal can also let him go for around $20 million. Tottenham, Wolves and Newcastle are thought to be interested.
Summer cleaning is part of technical director Edu’s plans to rebuild the team. Addressing enthusiasts in a recent statement, he said, “We try to create a greater balance on the team, but we know it takes time to balance the team as Mikel [Arteta] and I want to. “
“To balance properly, we have to sell players, buy players and it takes time, day or night only.
“It will take time, but with Willian we have a great process. We’ve known the team’s wishes and he’s starting to rebalance the team the way we want. “
Willian joined the Gunners on a loose move after leaving Chelsea.
