Arsenal have been left shocked by the price tag demanded over a midfield target, PSG are chasing a £75m Man Utd man, while Chelsea are in for a £40m Bundesliga defender, according to Monday’s transfer gossip.
ARTETA ENDS BUENDIA INTEREST
Arsenal have decided against pursuing a deal for Emiliano Buendia after his price tag reached crazy figures.
Mikel Arteta has already shipped out Saed Kolasinac and William Saliba on loan, but he is looking at new recruits.
Top of his wish-list is more creativity in his midfield – with Buendia very much appealing to the Gunners.
However, Norwich are seeking a fee of around £35m – £40m. And according to The Athletic, via the Daily Express, Arteta and Co have decided to end their interest.
The Canaries’ inflated price tag comes after Buendia found his scoring touch this season. He has scored seven times in 19 Championship games.
But Arteta and technical director Edu will now turn their attention elsewhere.
Julian Brandt and Christian Eriksen are both emerging as alternatives. Deals for both also look complicated.
As such, the Express now claims Arsenal look unlikely to land the creative midfielder they crave. The hunt of course will go on and with three weeks left in the window, the situation could yet change.
Real Madrid’s Isco could emerge as another option.
