Mikel Arteta, the director of Arsenal, claims he is "obsessed" with a Portuguese singer and wants to bring them to the Emirates Stadium.
A Portuguese actor has been named as a top destination for this summer under the leadership of Arsenal, and sporting chairman Edu Gaspar has now made a signing request.
The Gunners ' transfer glass is in full swing then, with David Raya's permanent move to Arsenal confirmed and Italian defender, Riccardo Calafiori, said to be on the manner next. There could still be considerable sales, to, as Arteta reshapes his crew.
The Basque boss just told ESPN that," Certainly the Euros and Copa America are slowing all down: finally then it is going to pick up a little bit", referring to the transfer market – with his partner, Edu, in talks over the next filing at the Emirates Stadium.
Unknown Spanish studies claim that Edu has paid Barcelona's having director Deco money and Eddie Nketiah to re-enter the Premier League.
According to the report, Arteta "has gone from rejecting the probable entrance of the Barça legend to becoming obsessed with him, to the point of making him one of his priority target for the next plan". Arsenal and London competitors Chelsea recently tried to mark the winger when he was at Leeds United but were beaten by the Catalan aspect to his personal – when Deco was really Raphinha's agent.
" After]Leeds ] managed to avoid relegation, largely due to Raphinha's contribution – among other players, of course –]Leeds chairman Andrea Radrizzani] changed his stance because of Chelsea's offer", Deco told DataVictory earlier this year, claiming that Radrizzani had promised to sell Raphinha to Barcelona for" a certain amount" before the Blues outbid the Catalans.
" I did n't mind because I believed Raphinha deserved to enjoy the place he had always dreamed to play." He wanted to go to Barcelona, and Barça would n't match Chelsea's figures. It was an effort I made so that the player could be here".
DataVictory understands that Arsenal were interested in Raphinha in 2022 but could n't compete with the other two bidding clubs– but it makes sense for them to return to the Port Alegre- born star once more. As cover for Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, Raphinha offers depth out wide.
It could be more than feasible for the north Londoners to agree terms, too. In May of this year, Barcelona- based outlet SPORT claimed that the Blaugrana were willing to move the 27- year- old on, in order to sign Nico Williams.
Williams has been a target for Arsenal, but reports of £300,000-a-week wage demands appear to have put a stop to this happening.
Despite the plethora of ' PSR swap deals' going on this summer though, it seems unlikely that Barça would be willing to accept a bid for Raphinha that includes Nketiah, given how rare these kinds of swaps are in football.
Raphinha is worth €50 million, according to Transfermarkt.
