Marco Asensio is the subject of interest from Arsenal, and they have ramped up their interest in him.
The Spaniard currently plays for Real Madrid, and he has been a key player for them.
He is known for scoring some stunning goals and could bring that to the Emirates.
Arsenal is looking to bolster their attack at the end of this season and they could add Asensio to the group.
The Spanish journalist, Eduardo Inda reveals in a recent interview that the Gunners and Liverpool are looking to land him.
He claims they are offering him a better salary than what he is getting from Real Madrid where his current deal expires in 2023.
“Asensio has two offers from the UK, and his contract expires in 2023,” he said via Sport Witness.
“If Real Madrid don’t renew him, he will leave for free in 2023. He has an offer from Arsenal and Liverpool.
“Madrid have offered him the same, 4.5 million, and would renew him for four years and give him an incentive of 1.5 million in variables.
“He has told the club that the English are offering him 50% more than what Madrid are offering him. Madrid will not reach that figure because we would be talking about 7 million.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Asensio has been one of the finest attackers in Europe for some time now, and Madrid should be keen to keep him.
However, this report shows they don’t value keeping him at the Bernabeu that much.
If Arsenal continues to offer him a better deal, he could choose a move to the Emirates.
appreciated that
For me it is all about who can cope with the prem league pressure. Dusan Vlahovic obs was to scared. Our prem league has seen many light weights fail.
Sounds good, BUT
where will he play?
He is not a center forward. He plays on the wing for Real.
So he would be bought to replace Saka, or ESR or Nellie.
Apparently he would be on a huge Wage.
What if he does not cut it in the EPL.
Will he become another Ozil, Auba, Pepe, Sanchez?
I believe, if he comes to AFC, he will have “Great Expectations”
I would rather we bought an up-and-comer who is hungry, rather than a Real reject. (I say reject because it seems Real want to offload him).
I will say again, I think we only need to buy a top goal scorer, and another DM in the summer!!!
Again, just my thoughts
This not a buy I think we should make.
Why is Sánchez there? Like if he would have been a waste of money for some time…he is for a mile our Best signing since Fábregas (probably Best if u judge without emotion) and probably the only one who could have played in the invincibles
minus Pepe’s vastly overpriced fee, which was an obvious misstep from the get-go, I’m assuming the above poster was referencing how things ultimately transpired with the other players mentioned…I do agree with you regarding the Sanchez signing…in all honesty, he may have been an even better signing than Cesc, in that he was basically sharing a position in Barca, so no one saw what would end up being on offer, whereas Fabregas was a full-blown blue chip prospect
Buy Dominic Cavern Lewin of Everton and Isak or Johnathan David
I don’t believe a word of it. Absolute BS
We need a proven striker not AM ok! we have ESR,BS,NP and GM what else.
I want to support Emmanuel on that what we need is not assensio but a CM in the form of bissouma or Decan rice or neves who will allow partey to move freely. We need game changers and proven epl players. We can’t turn our team into a dumping ground for other teams. I wish we hold on to lacazette for a year or two then buy a proven goal scorer like richarldlison not even cavert lewin or isak
