Arsenal in advanced Raphinha negotiations after landing Gabriel Jesus
Arsenal in advanced Raphinha negotiations after landing Gabriel Jesus from Man City who’s set to undergo a medical test.
Arsenal’s summer transfer window is starting to seriously heat up as the Gunners aim to bolster their ranks ahead of a busy 2022/23 campaign.
Edu, the sporting director, has been working hard to improve Arteta’s squad with a number of fresh acquisitions.
The club has already signed central midfielder Fabio Vieira from Porto for almost £34 million, as well as 19-year-old winger Marquinhos from Sao Paulo.
The £45 million transfer of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City to Arsenal has been agreed upon in principle.
The green light has been signaled for Mikel Arteta to add the Brazilian to his ranks ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
It is now a matter of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’ Jesus will become an Arsenal player.
Arsenal in advanced Raphinha negotiations
While Arsenal are reportedly deep into negotiations for Jesus, talks over another big-money move for his Brazilian compatriot Raphinha are also ongoing.
According to ConMarbleHalls, host of Arsenal podcast The Marble Halls Show, the Gunners are in advanced negotiations for his signing.
They wrote on Twitter: “Exclusive. Arsenal are in advanced negotiations with Leeds United for the transfer of Raphinha. Talks yesterday went well between clubs close to finding total agreement for add-ons to get close to Leeds valuation. Personal terms agreed with the player. Getting close.”
Barcelona are also interested in a move for Raphinha and the Brazilian is reportedly keen to move to Spain with the Catalan giants, though the club are currently short on cash which could price them out of a deal.
Spanish journalist Ruben Uria has claimed that Barca have ‘disappeared’ from the race to sign the Brazilian as a result.
