Buying players is indeed a technical job, Arsenal spent a lot of money, but also bought the wrong people, the most classic case is Pepe, 80 million euros to introduce the winger, now may have to lose 2/3 of the big sale.
According to the latest report from the London Football Network, Arsenal plan to cash out Ivorian winger Nicolas Pepe in the summer window, and the club is ready for a big sale at a loss.
According to German transfer data, Arsenal brought in Pepe from Lille for a sky-high transfer fee of 80 million euros in the summer window of 2019, which is also the most expensive reinforcement in Arsenal's history. But Pepe has not played as expected in three seasons with Arsenal and is now a marginal player under Arteta's tactics. So far this season, Pepe has played 17 Premier League games, contributing 1 goal and 1 assist.
According to the London Football Network, Arteta has suggested arsenal cash out for Pepe in the summer window and fully brought in Manchester City's Brazilian striker Jesus. Arsenal need to deal with the loss due to Pepe's poor performance, arsenal are willing to sell Pepe as long as they receive an offer of around £25 million, and the 26-year-old Ivorian winger is currently worth 30 million euros in Germany.
