Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, is meticulously planning for the summer transfer window, eager to replicate the success achieved through Martin Odegaard’s acquisition from Real Madrid. Odegaard’s journey began as a loanee in 2021, his impact pivotal in securing a permanent deal, now spearheading Arsenal’s quest for their first Premier League title in two decades.
Arteta’s gaze returns to the Bernabeu, this time targeting Brahim Diaz, a dynamic attacking midfielder, as reported by Spanish outlet El Nacional. Arsenal has reportedly tabled a staggering €70 million offer for the 24-year-old, who recently committed to representing Morocco internationally.
Diaz’s impressive season at Real Madrid, featuring in 32 matches with 18 starts and contributing eight goals and four assists, has not gone unnoticed. However, stiff competition, including the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, threatens Diaz’s future playing time.
Despite Diaz’s Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) at €29.5 million, Arsenal’s offer far exceeds expectations, highlighting Arteta’s belief in the player’s potential, honed during his tenure at Manchester City.
But Arsenal’s ambitions don’t end there. Reports also suggest their interest in Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres, showcasing their proactive stance in strengthening their attacking options for the challenges ahead. Arteta’s strategic approach underscores Arsenal’s determination to secure top talents and elevate their competitive standing in the Premier League.
