According to the Sun, the "not bad money" Arsenal plan to invest 180 million pounds (about 215 million euros) in the summer to bring in new players, and an efficient goalscorer is their main target. On the other side, both Manchester City and Manchester United have hit Barca's iron gate Alaujo.
Arsenal were serious and in January they let Aubameyang go without any substantial reinforcements. But in the summer, according to The Sun, things will be very different. Arteta is said to be backed by club owner Kroenke, who will offer 215 million euros to bring in new players, with the goal of targeting the three strongmen: Lewin, Isaac and Ruben Neves.
After sending Aubameyang away, Arteta wanted a new striker, and it would have been better if he could sign two. Isaac is Arsenal's long-term target, and Real Sociedad's asking price is $90 million (liquidated damages), which is a bit too high. Isaac's contract will expire for another 4 and a half years, and there is no pressure on the Royal Society to sell at a reduced price, and the transfer is very difficult.
LeWin's performance this season is more average, he is a local star in the Premier League, and his value will not be low. Arsenal allegedly need to pay around €72 million for Lewin, who they believe the former and Isaac can form a formidable duo. This season, Arsenal's overall performance has improved compared to before, with a much more solid defense but a little less goals scored. Lewin is now 24 and Isaac is 22 and if the two are in place at the same time, they could prop up Arsenal's forward line for the next 10 years.
Ruben Neves is another long-term target for Arsenal, the 24-year-old Portuguese midfielder is arguably the Premier League's top star and Wolves won't let him go easily. Krenck is said to be willing to pay a $50 million transfer fee for Neves, who was able to take Arsenal's midfield to the next level. Then both Arteta and Saka will renew their contracts, they are the two cornerstones of the team's rebuilding.
On the other side, both Manchester City and Manchester United are interested in adding a centre-back in the summer, and both have their sights set on Barca star Araujo. This season, Araujo has become Barca's first choice for centre-back positions, and the most reliable option. With his contract still 17 months to go, Araaujo offered to raise his current annual salary of $900,000 to $3.5 million, which should be a reasonable asking price, but the financially struggling Barca were unable to provide it.
Manchester City and Manchester United are serious about Araujo, both willing to pay a transfer fee of 45 million for the Uruguayan centre-back, not to mention the salary. Manchester City are said to be willing to use Laporte as a bargaining chip to trade with Barca for Araujo. Barca are very interested in Laporte, and Manchester City's scheme is highly operable, which puts Blue Moon ahead of Manchester United in the competition.
