Celestial + Romano: New Moon joins Arsenal s battle for Seschko! Gunners are interested in central defender Gei

London Football Editor-in-Chief TC News, Real Madrid is working hard to intercept Hu Zubimendi's deal, but Arsenal is still confident that the midfielder will land at the Emirates Stadium.

reported that Zubimendi has verbally agreed to join Arsenal, and the deal is only a physical examination.

In the just-concluded UEFA Nations League final, Zubimendi helped Spain score the first goal, but they eventually lost to Portugal in a penalty shootout. This game is actually not just a goal, but Zubi Mendi showed strong ball control and forward pass ability, and performed very well!

As for the transfer, there are many rumors about him and Real Madrid recently, but I have not reprinted it much because there is no substantive content at all. DO and Romano also confirmed that the deal was OK today.

TA reporter DO posted that Arsenal believes that Zubimendi's transfer is already a completed deal, and the midfielder is expected to report in pre-season preparations.

Real Madrid and Zubimendi are linked, but DO said they did not pursue or actively operate. There is also news in

Romano.

Real Madrid does want Zubi Mendi, but they can neither meet the liquidated damages asking price, and the contract treatment provided is not as good as Arsenal, so neither Real Sociedad nor the player can pass this level, so there is no need to worry at all.

To sum up, this transaction has actually been only waiting for the official announcement, and gun fans are waiting patiently.

Official: Cruzero announced the signing of Marginhos from Arsenal.

22-year-old Marginhos joined Arsenal from Sao Paulo in the summer of 2022. So far, the winger has played for the team in 6 games and scored in his debut.

Mr. Ma's debut was still a bit amazing. It once made people look forward to whether he could become a substitute for Saka, but his subsequent development was a thunderbolt and a huge splash. Whether it was loaned to the English Championship, Ligue 1 or even the Brazilian League, it did not leave a deep impression.

Now there is Envanelli in this position, and even if there is no Envanelli, it is impossible to consider giving him another chance. Arsenal's standards are very high now, so they should be sold.

As for the transfer fee, no media mentioned this, but the German transfer market showed that it was 3 million euros, which is estimated to be almost the same price, which is less than the purchase price of Arsenal. Of course, if you want to calculate your value, Marginhos's value is still 5.5 million euros... It doesn't matter, this transaction has nothing to do with the overall situation.

gunnerblog stated in his article that Arteta hopes to sign a new central defender as a supplement to Saliba and Gabriel. If they enter the central defender market to find people, then the top player is Mark Gei.

24-year-old Guy has one year left to expire with Crystal Palace, so he is considered more acceptable in price, but the question is whether Guy tends to join Arsenal because he wants to compete for a main position in the World Cup year.

Actually, I think it's okay not to buy a central defender. We have said it many times. There are many candidates in Arsenal who can play central defender, and the choice of the main central defender is unshakable.

Of course, Gee is indeed good, and the contract has one year left, but there are still two problems: one is whether the price is reasonable, the price is too high and it is not worth it, and it is also a substitute when you buy it; the other is whether the players themselves are willing to be a rotation, and it is likely that the rotation is like sitting on the bench...

So there are still many questions about this transaction, which cannot be discussed yet.

German Sky Sports reporter FP said in an interview that he believed that Seschko would join Arsenal.

FP said: "Red Bull Leipzig is expected to receive the first offer from Arsenal to Sessko this week. The clubs of both sides must reach an agreement between 80 million and 100 million euros transfer fees. I am fully confident that Sessko will play for Arsenal next season."

Regarding Sessko's transaction, a new situation has occurred today. Let's talk about it after reading it. According to Sky Sports, Riyadh Crescent is interested in Arsenal's goal for Seschko, and they hope to finalize a deal on Tuesday to allow him to play in the Club World Cup (this is actually impossible, the Club World Cup transfer window is closed today).

Romano also said that the Saudi team has contacted Seschko, but he also pointed out that the players themselves currently want to stay in Europe to develop.

Let's briefly talk about it:

First of all, Riyadh New Moon can definitely afford Sheshko and pay for her salary, but the only question is whether Sheshko is willing to go to the Middle East to develop at the age of 22. I think any player who has aspirations in his career will not stay away from the mainstream European stage at this age.

Sheshko chose to renew his contract last year because Arsenal could not guarantee the main position. From this choice, I think he is not the kind of player who only needs money (unless they give too much...). As long as Arsenal can reach an agreement with Leipzig, his first choice will definitely be Arsenal.

The question is whether Arsenal can reach an agreement with Leipzig. FP said he is confident that Xiesko will join, but he also said that the transfer fee will cost 80 million to 100 million. I think this price is very unreliable, at most 80 million euros. The risk is too great...

In short, everything has not reached an agreement yet. FP said that Arsenal will quote this week, so let's wait and talk about it.

No matter what, it is not a good thing for Riyadh Crescent to join the competition. At least it will push up the price of Seschko and strengthen Leipzig's confidence. Therefore, the main goal is to finalize the sooner the better, so as not to cause trouble...
