Barcelona pays the price for the London battle... Arsenal's revenge on Chelsea goes through Camp Nou!
Arsenal is in turmoil during the summer transfer window and is preparing a strong reaction after losing the signing of Morgan Rogers to their traditional rivals Chelsea, who snatched the striker from Aston Villa in a record deal worth €140 million, making it the most expensive in the history of the English Premier League.
Spanish newspaper Marca reported that Arsenal's management intends to make a big splash in the transfer market in the coming days, especially with the World Cup nearing its end, as the team has only signed defender Hincapié from Bayer Leverkusen for €40 million so far.
Arsenal has maintained a relative financial balance after selling three players: Trossard to Turkish club Beşiktaş, Kiwior to Portuguese side Porto, and Hein to German club Werder Bremen, for a total of €114 million, giving them significant purchasing power to strengthen their squad.
Argentine Julián Álvarez, striker for Atlético Madrid, tops Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta's target list after the player expressed his desire to leave, while the Spanish club refused to sell him to Barcelona despite an offer of €100 million, opening the door for the Gunners to seal the deal.
Arsenal also seeks to sign Greek midfielder Christos Tzolis from Belgian club Club Brugge for €40 million, as well as defender Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa for the same amount, in an attempt to strengthen all lines of the team.
A top-class striker remains Arteta's top priority as he looks to lead his team into serious title contention next season, taking advantage of the club's significant financial resources.
