Arsenal’s initial offer for Cristhian Mosquera was turned down by Valencia, but the Gunners remain determined to add the young defender to their squad. Mikel Arteta has tracked Mosquera for some time and sees him as a player who can improve the team at the Emirates.
The first bid Arsenal made was below Valencia’s asking price of 20 million euros. Los Che are firm on receiving a good fee for the player, so Arsenal must increase their offer to have a chance of securing his signature. The club is reportedly preparing to return with a better proposal. According to a report on Mundo Deportivo, Arsenal’s new offer will come closer to what Valencia wants, but it remains unclear whether an agreement will be reached.
Mosquera has already agreed on personal terms with Arsenal, showing his eagerness to join the Premier League club. The defender is seen as a promising talent who could add depth to Arsenal’s backline and contribute to the squad’s long-term development.
Mosquera’s Potential Impact at Arsenal
The arrival of Mosquera would provide Arsenal with additional defensive options, which is essential for the team’s ambitions this season. With Mikel Arteta focusing on strengthening the squad, adding a young and talented player like Mosquera fits the club’s vision of building a competitive team capable of challenging for honours.
His ability to adapt and grow within Arsenal’s system will be crucial. The club believes he has the qualities to thrive in the Premier League and help solidify the defence moving forward.
Negotiations Continue as Arsenal Pushes Forward
Discussions between Arsenal and Valencia are ongoing, with both sides motivated to find a deal. Arsenal’s improved offer shows their serious intent to sign Mosquera, while Valencia remains keen to get a suitable fee for their player.
The transfer would be a significant move in Arsenal’s summer recruitment, signalling their commitment to reinforcing key areas. With Mosquera ready to make the move, the Gunners will aim to conclude talks swiftly to integrate him ahead of the new season.

A potentially good cover for Saliba and replacement for Tomiyasu
I think Arsenal are making just the right calls in this transfer window. I feel the excitement building.
I believe Kiwior wants to leave for playing time which I can’t really blame him for because he is a starter for most mid to upper level clubs and is afraid that the time to play at his best will pass him by. We should be able to get decent funds for his sale and the acquisition of Mosquera is I suspect seen at a minimum as an insurance policy for the future.
This is a very good point being made * not to be over looked at all.Despite the fact that you cannot have it both ways neither. Some serious strategy has to be applied for academy players waiting to deliver & not being usherd out full filing their impact!
But what message does this send to our academy graduates?
No wonder most of them leave for free
It sends the message that they need to level up their game and have the right mentality. If they are good enough, it won’t matter who is brought in because the talent will shine through and no one will ignore it.
For instance,when MLS came in, it didn’t matter that the club had just signed Calafiori. He continued to play on merit. Same with Saka displacing the club record signing Pepe.
What a good explanatory reply back.
Well mentioned all round football game reading. Playing serious football
is what it is no more or less facing up to the reality of how things can & do go.Just like as I would have preferred Sesko over Gycoress. I thought that Arsenal have now lost another top draw player of his age & status which could only have got better. However,Sesko himself did not exactly help himself or both clubs with his get out clause & salary requests etc. Whereas Gycoress did tick all the boxes with the correct mindset for showing his true colours for not only wanting to play for Arsenal but being fully committed. This helped me get eventually satisfaction overcoming my big disappointment in getting the right player with the right attitude.

@Rootk1t
Why don’t you ask all the other clubs that same question?
Why are do they also constantly buy instead of promoting from their academies?
🤦♂️

It’s unrealistic to expect more than a couple from the academy to come through to the main squad. To get the likes of Saka and then real prospects like Nwaneri and MLS at the same time is good going. Many are released or go to lower league clubs to find their level. Some dreams made, more dashed
chavs getting lucky again. PSG are sh*t
Yeah, they’re also lucky selling a not-starter to Arsenal for 52 million. 52 million for a squad player ! After 65 million for Havertz !!
@WHC: For your info: None Madueke did start most of the games in the 2024-25 season.
@WHC: Noni Madueke has started in 47 Premier League games for Chelsea and has been substituted in approximately 20 games
Perhaps they need a striker?
What does that make us, we lost to them twice
Last time the chavs beat us though RSH and the last time they finished above us in the PL?
I will know we have a real chance of winning when Arteta sells Havertz for a big loss. With Gyokeres in, Havertz will be on the bench. Jesus should recover from his injuries to be a strong #2 behind Gyokeres. Merino is as good as Havertz either in mid field or striker … but at half his salary.
You seem a bit heated up. Had a rough weekend?
What evidence is there that Jesus “should recover from his injuries” when he’s clearly been injury-prone for several seasons now?
People were saying just that when he broke the habit over recent seasons and actually scored a handful of goals last season – until he was injured again! Is there a pattern here?
Jesus isn’t a striker because he doesn’t score goals anywhere near the rate a striker should so, ideally, he should leave. Unfortunately, that’s highly unlikely as I’m pretty sure his £14m a year salary will prove too much of a “drag” for him to actually get through the exit door (and who on earth would pay it?).

As you will know, Arsenal aren’t the only club to struggle to offload players for a reasonable fee or to pay too much and see the value plummet as injuries or lack of form play their part.
Grealish cost £100m and I read could fetch about £40m.
It seems to be the middling teams that have to be really astute in the market, not only buying well, but selling well too.
Sue
I agree, but I’m not quite sure what that has to do with Jesus (which was the point of my earlier post).
It’s NOT a case of Arsenal struggling to offload that player because of injuries or lack of form (although both apply in full measure surely) – there’s no “struggle” at all and, as a result, Arsenal keeps coughing up the £14m each season. That’s the point.
It’s worth noting, I think, that if Jesus did actually leave, and for nothing, Arsenal would save, in wages, an amount not much less than reports suggest they’d get, as a fee, for Trossard. Makes you think.
You mentioned Grealish. At least with him both City and, presumably, the player agree that it’s time to move on, even at a loss to the club (although City’s £40m or so from the recent CWC should help to cushion that deficit). You couldn’t get a more different scenario that the one of Jesus at Arsenal.
According to the BBC Website, he’s now agreed personal terms, so it appears to be an on going transfer.
I think havertz should be put up for sale and, if bids exceeding half of his value are made, sold!
He’s gobbling up too much wages…
Should’ve never been bought. High chance we’d have a trophy by now if we spent our funds just a bit better and not on expensive redemptions projects to flout our managers ego. If we’re being honest
I believe havertz is one of the hardest working players whenever he plays…his role is critical to our pressing line…can’t understand why you guys don’t see that…he’s not elite but sure as hell has enough quality…very crucial player for arteta right now
