According to the Italian media Calciomercato, Inter proposed to exchange DeVry for Gabriel of Arsenal, and they were willing to pay a small difference. Arsenal, meanwhile, are interested in two attacking players, Rafinha and Jesus.
Inter are interested in selling Devry, the Dutch centre-back who is the team's main centre-back. Late last season, Devry had a period of underperformance, his contract expired a year later, and he was over 30 years old and entered the exit tunnel. Inter offered to exchange DeVry for Arsenal for Gabriel. Gabriel joined Arsenal in the summer of 2020 for a transfer fee of $26 million, and he has been the main player in the team for the past two years. However, Gabriel's performance is not very stable, he is not "non-selling".
Negotiations are underway between the two sides, de Vry is capable and Arsenal are willing to accept the Dutch centre-back. Defrey, 30, is worth about $20 million, and Gabriel is six years younger than him and is worth more than $35 million. In other words, Inter needs to pay a difference of not less than 15 million to negotiate with Arsenal. There are also some transfer rumours around Szczes and Bastoni, inter need to add a centre-back, with Torino's Bremer being the main target, the Brazilian centre-back worth around $35 million.
Although there is no Champions League next season, Arsenal plan to invest more this summer to support Arteta to improve the squad. After the departures of Aubameyang and Lacazette, arsenal's forward line was in a vacuum and there was an urgent need to add forward players. According to the report, Arteta has two powerful stars, namely Jesús of Manchester City and Rafinha of Leeds United.
Jesus was put on the shelf by Manchester City, the Brazilian goalscorer, who is not very efficient, but has strong overall ability and is still very young. Arsenal have been chasing Jesus for some time, With Manchester City asking for around $50 million and Arsenal's last offer at $35 million, with plenty of disagreements.
Spurs have reportedly joined the scramble with an intention to snatch Jesus from Arsenal, who are willing to offer a $50 million offer to meet City's demands. Jesus is willing to join Arsenal, but Spurs can play in the Champions League, the attraction is stronger, he is willing to go to Conte's hands, Arsenal need to grasp it.
Rafinha is another big target for Arsenal, with the Brazilian winger going to Camp Nou, but the shy Barca are slow to move, making the former a little impatient. Rafinha is more sought-after, Liverpool, Paris and other teams are also chasing him, arsenal hope to finalize the transfer as soon as possible.
