It looks like Arsenal is serious about bringing this defender into their squad next season because they have been linked in the last few weeks and haven't found anything yet, but according to rumors Arsenal have made an agreement with Bologna and Arsenal has agreed to the transfer fee that Bologna wants so we just have to wait Arsenal completed their transfer this time. I really look forward to Arsenal making changes for next season.
I previously thought whether Arsenal would not recruit players this season because they haven't really moved to make an official deal while other clubs have already brought in several players, but it turns out they are really thinking it through and there is still time. I hope they will improve so that next season they don't fail to win the EPL title again.
Every season with complications. It's so disappointing that this club that I have chosen to support don't even know how to make things work properly in the transfer market. Even though we've been seeing some changes lately, like team performance and others, the transfer window is also another important part of football. Arsenal has literally budgeted £40M+5M for the player, which Bologna have been reluctant to making agreement till recently. I think we can get the deal done in no time.
My big question to Mikel Arteta and the management, what about other players like( Nketaih, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Kiwior, Viera, etc) that are not getting enough playing time. Why keep them to receive salary, when you can sell them to buy players that can get regular playing time?. There are several rumors of interest for both Nketaih and Smith Rowe from Fulham and west ham respectively. If these players won't get a better playing time, then is there a need to keep them?.
Just heard that Chidi-Obi martin(academy player) that did very well last season has refused to sign a contract for the club, amid interest from clubs like Manchester united. Why is this so?, - The coach isn't ready to give opportunities to academy players. About two academy players(Walters and Sousa) also left without signing professional contract with the club. All thanks to the coach who is not interested in academy players. I wondered if Saka would have been playing for arsenal right now, if Emery didn't promote him.

What I am trying to say is very simple: sell players that won't get playing time, and keep those that will get playing time.
imagine that you were president of real madrid and you needed a good striker, but you see that there is a good striker in team X and that they are selling him for a very high price, but you realize that this striker only has 1 more year at the club X, what would you do:
1 - buy the attacker immediately?
2 - wait for 1 year to sign the attacker?
the president of real madrid is very experienced in managing the club and saw what happened with barcelona, to avoid the same fate that barcelona had, the president of real madrid chose to wait 1 year before they could sign mbappe, this means that the mbappe is very important for real madrid. If he wasn't, then real madrid wouldn't have waited a year, they would have discarded mbappe and would have looked for another alternative. about this issue of real madrid being able to win the European champions league and La Liga even without having mbappe, I think it was thanks to the coach and luck at the same time, I say luck because last season Vinicius was very good, and I say thanks to the coach because he chose Bellingham and managed to put him in a position that gave Real Madrid a lot of advantage. But these two events are not something to rely on for long. For example, Vinicius can decline in performance and so can Bellingham. That's why it's important to have a striker like Mbappe
Pérez has been managing real Madrid well for some time now. What amuses me the most is how they easily walk away from top players and managers as if it is never a big deal. As for the question you asked, seeing the caliber of player that Kylian is, I might want to get him at that very moment, but Pérez is just built different. The deal was already sealed even before mbappe's contract expired. Real Madrid Happens to be one of the clubs that knows how to do business well, and they are also good in grooming new players with the experienced ones. As for Bellingham, well, I can't say that he has gotten to a top level of how Madrid usually plays. I Observed some of his flops last season, though he is improving. As for vinicius, we saw more of him in the second half of last season, but the first half wasn't too impressive. That's just the vinicius we are used to.
But I think the combination of Vini, Kylian and Rodrygo, is something I can't wait for to watch. My expectations towards their performance is very high, so I just hope they don't make a mess.
