Arsenal stepping up Alex Grimaldo transfer talks to seal the deal this week
Arsenal stepping up Alex Grimaldo transfer talks to seal the deal as soon as possible according to reports.
A Bola reports that Mike Arteta’s side is hoping to speed up talks with Alex Grimaldo and close a deal as soon as possible by taking advantage of Benfica training in England.
The Arsenal have recently become more interested in the left-back.
The 26-year-old was the subject of a £5.9 million bid from Mikel Arteta’s camp.
Benfica is seeking a little bit more. However, it seems that they are not in the best position to hold out for their £8.5 million asking price given that Grimaldo’s contract expires next summer.
According to A Bola, the Portuguese team is now in England and will train at St. George’s Park through Thursday.
Arsenal now hopes to quicken negotiations and conclude a deal as soon as feasible.
Meanwhile, Grimaldo is eager to join the Premier League.
