£70m Brazilian admits he could leave this summer as Arsenal show interest

Arsenal have now seen one of their summer transfer targets admit that his future is up in the air and he hopes his current club respects the decision he makes over the coming months.

An interesting summer awaits Mikel Arteta and Arsenal following another near miss in the race for the P🐷remier League title last season.

The Gunn꧅ers have another opportunity to bolster their squad this summer as they look to end their drought of two decades a𒁃nd get their hands on the English crown.

Only two points separated Manchester City and Arsenal last season which should provide the north Londoners with some encouragem༺ent going into the new campaign.

A couple of quality additions could well overturn the small margins in thꦺeir favour as they look to become the team to beat in the Premier League.

And it seems one of their potential summer targets has just opened himself up to a possible move aw♔ay from his current club over the coming months.

£70m Brazilian admits he’d be open to summer transfer

Going into the summer window, a new striker was perhaps the main target for Arteta having seen Gabriel Jesus struggle again in front of goal at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal have shown they are not afraid to back their manager now with Arteta having been handed some big money signings like Declan Rice in recent transfer windows.

This summer may see more of the same with the gap to Pep Guardiola’s s♉ide closing year on year.

One player who ꦫArsenal are sai🅠d to be keen on this summer is Brazilian centre-back Murillo from Nottingham Forest.

And the Brazilian has now commented on his ♍future with a number of clubs beli🎶eved to have now entered the picture for him this summer.

 “I’ve received a few offers. Some official, others sounding out. I’ll t🐓ake it up wit▨h my manager,” he told the .

“They were clubs from England, Italy and Germany.

“If I ಞstay at Nottingham, I’ll do my best. If I leave, I hope they respect my decision. I’m calm and analyzing it in the best way.”

How much would Nottingham Forest sell Murillo for?

Although Nottingham Forest are one of the clubs who are in need of generating some cash over the coming weeks to meet the PSR deadline, th⛦ey will not be selling Murillo on the cheap.

As with Brennan Johnson last summer, Forest will be holding out for top dollar for their Braziliaꦿn centre-back this summer.

It has been claimed Nottin♉gham 🔯Forest have a valuation of around £70m for Murillo if they are to sell.

Considering the options Arsenal currently have at the back with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, this would be an extraordinary amou♍nt of money to pay for a backup player.

Of course, he would provide the Gunners wi𝔉th solid strength in depth, buꦍt surely Arteta has his eyes set on more pressing improvements elsewhere.
