Arsenal interested in £51m Barcelona player who is now available for sale
According to a recent report, Arsenal are interested in a Barcelona star who is thought to have a £51m price tag.
𝐆The Gunners have made a pretty slow start to the summer transfer window but now deals are starting to really accelerate.
ꦛEuro 2024 star Riccardo Calafiori is set to be the first addition through the door and once completed, the focus may start to turn towards a Barcelona player.
Arsenal interested in Jules Kounde
According to Spanish outlet , via , Arsenal are interested in signing Barcelona defender Jules Kounde.
๊The Catalan giants will sanction his sale if an interesting proposal arrives and they hope to inflate his value after his Euro 2024 performances with France.
𓂃A £51m price tag has been mooted for the former Sevilla defender, who is under contract at Camp Nou until 2027.
🔴Kounde is part of Hansi Flick’s plans but the club’s financial woes will force them to make a big sale this window.
Arsenal should focus on other targets
♛Ben White is of a very similar profile to Kounde, so there isn’t really any need to go and outlay £51m on another right back, who can operate centrally.
🎐Instead, Arsenal should allocate those funds on a number nine – which is the glaring weakness at this stage.
🅰Viktor Gyokeres and Ivan Toney are both being linked, though, it’s the former who seems most likely.
♔Arteta is also in the market for another midfielder and it seems as though Mikel Merino is the man he wants.
