Arsenal transfers 25/26

Don’t forget another GK.
Arteta has to buy a GK and LB every season, it’s the law. :grinning:

Arteta trying to copy Pep’s blueprint of winning the league by spending 40m plus on full backs. The problem is he missed the page where these teams had potent goal scorers in - whether that be Yaya, Aguero, Mahrez or Haaland.

GK - Garcia - £25.
DL - Hato - £20m
DM - Zubimendi - £51m
W - Williams - £50m
ST- Sesko. - £50m
Slightly over £200m - less the £50m made at the end of the window.

Out, not including loanees.
Tierney - free
Zinchenko - £15m
Vieira - £10m
Nelson - £10m
Jorginho - free
Partey - free
Kiwior - £10m

£55m upfront takes our initial outlay to around the £100m mark. All above fees are rough figures and show the upfront costs, amortisation on wages, subsequent clauses are not included.

Does this mean we could get Guimaraes if it’s true that Newcastle will sell for about £50-60m?

I know we bid cheap on Dan Bentley last summer but that kind of offer would be taking the piss :wink:

Isn’t Garcia’s release clause somewhere around that mark?

We’re signing Mark Zuckerberg. Never expected this.

The meltdowns if this player doesn’t end up here lol. Liverpool fans were crying, but I don’t think the saga is over till the signature is signed imo.

Yes, widely reported to be €30m so £25.3m.

He plays on the far-right.

Williams and Sesko should secure a top 4 finish next year.

If his release clause is less than a Nando’s for two we should be all over it.

Really hope we get most stuff done early.

I reckon we’ve already got 2-3 done and dusted. We’ve probably discussed terms with all our top targets and their back-ups and we are now just haggling with clubs over the structure of the transfer fees (or ready to trigger their release clauses).

I think our net spend will be no more than £150m.

300m fantastic. Isak, Leao and Zubimendi it is then.

If we can’t sign Isak, I really hope we go for Hugo Ekitike instead of Sesko. He’s having a great season and he’s exactly the profile we need up front.

He’s a good call, scored in some very important games too. Newcastle sniffing around as a potential Isak replacement. If we get one or the other I’ll be delighted.

Hugo…?

…Yes please!

I do wonder what the fee for Osimhen will be this summer with 1 year left to go on his deal

I believe there is a reason he ended up in Turkey.
