Report: Arsenal engage in new discussions with agents of \u00a388m target as contract negotiations stall.<\/p>\n
According to a report this week, Arsenal has initiated \u2018new\u2019 discussions with the agents of a Juventus player recommended to Real Madrid by Xabi Alonso.<\/p>\n
Arsenal is set to face Brentford following a dramatic victory by Man City over Fulham.<\/p>\n
Arsenal returns to the Emirates Stadium tonight, aiming to regain their winning form as they host Brentford in a crucial Premier League match, made even more significant by Man City\u2019s thrilling 5-4 win against Fulham last night.<\/p>\n
The Gunners have seen their lead at the top reduced to just two points after a frustrating 1-1 draw against Chelsea over the weekend, although Arsenal\u2019s remarkable 17-game unbeaten streak remains intact since their early-season loss to Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Mikel Arteta\u2019s team controlled possession at Stamford Bridge but could only secure a point, despite Chelsea being reduced to ten men for a significant portion of the match.<\/p>\n
Arsenal is facing a major injury dilemma with Gabriel Magalhaes out due to a thigh injury sustained while on international duty with Brazil.<\/p>\n
Arteta recently suggested that he might be unavailable until 2026, while Kai Havertz is still recovering from a knee injury that has sidelined him since the opening weekend.<\/p>\n
William Saliba is also uncertain after missing the trip to Chelsea, although Arteta has provided a seemingly optimistic update indicating that the French defender is just days away from making a return.<\/p>\n
Off the field, sporting director Andrea Berta is reportedly continuing efforts to strengthen Arsenal\u2019s squad, despite the club having spent nearly \u00a3270 million on eight significant signings during the summer.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid\u2019s Rodrygo is thought to be a target for Arsenal, with Berta perceiving an opportunity given the Brazilian\u2019s increasingly precarious situation at the Bernabeu.<\/p>\n
Ironically, Arsenal is also pursuing a player who Real could potentially use to replace Rodrygo, according to the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.<\/p>\n
Arsenal has initiated \u2018new\u2019 discussions with Juventus star Kenan Yildiz.<\/p>\n
Corriere reports that Alonso has personally suggested Juventus prodigy Kenan Yildiz as a target for Real, but they are now contending with strong competition from north London.<\/p>\n
Juve is working to secure the 20-year-old with new terms to fend off interested parties, but these negotiations are still in progress, and there remains a considerable gap regarding Yildiz\u2019s salary.<\/p>\n
Yildiz is seeking nearly four times his current pay to align with top earners like Jonathan David, while the Old Lady has so far offered less than his expectations.<\/p>\n
The forward is also looking for guarantees about his position and Juve\u2019s strategy to achieve major trophies, so although his priority is to remain in Turin, discussions for a new contract are thought to have stalled for the time being.<\/p>\n
Corriere indicates that Arsenal has made \u2018new moves\u2019 to negotiate terms with Yildiz\u2019s agents, and Arteta\u2019s team is reportedly \u2018captivated\u2019 by the Turkey international.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately for Berta, other recent reports from Italy suggest that Juve is asking for around \u00a388 million to part ways with their young star, which could necessitate a significant investment from Arsenal following an already substantial summer expenditure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
