LAPORTA responds as an arsenal table table for 223 km per week Barcelona Star

Arsenal would have made a pre-consciousness offer to sign a Barcelona set out Mikel ArtetaWith the contenders for the Liga and their president, Joan Laportaresponding to their ambitious approach.

Arsenal should sign a new defender for Mikel Arteta this summer

According to reliable media sources, the Gunners should try to sign a new defender for Arteta this summer.

Kieran Tierney should join Celtic in July after accepting a pre-Summer contract in the January transfer window, while we believe Oleksandr Zinchenko was put on the transfer list by Arsenal After falling the hierarchical order of Arteta.

Jakub Kiwior started four of the last arsenal Premier league matches, as well as both legs in the quarter -final of the Champions League against Real Madrid, but that is only due Gabriel Magalhaes is absent for the rest of the season With an injury to the hamstrings.

The Polish international played impressively at that time, but that did not prevent Arsenal from looking at new options in this position before summer.

Arsenal is one of the contenders to sign the starlet of Bournemouth Dean HuijsenAccording to David Ornstein, and have already had talks with the Spanish camp – it is therefore not clear what the future would hold for Kiwior if it came.

In any case, it is clear that the Northern Londoners are on the market for another central defender, and we also think Arsenal could move to attract another great rear While Tierney and Zinchenko go to the exit door.

A player who could strengthen both positions with serious quality is £ 223,000 per week Barcelona Star Jules Koundé.

The French international has proven to be essential to the favorites of the title of Hansi Flick, playing more minutes the Liga than any other player of his Catalans team, with only Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Pedri and Dani Olmo with an average of key passes by 90 than him in the last third (Although).

Kounde has contributed very well, both in an offensive and defensive sense, leaving no wonder why Arteta is a great admirer of the ex-sensation of Sevilla.

Arsenal makes an avant offer for the defender of Barcelona Jules Koundé

According to information in Spain, cited by Football 365, Arteta became “obsessed” by Kounde after his excellent 2024/2025 – and Andrea Berta made a first attempt to support the Arsenal manager with a swoop for the 26 -year -old.

We think Arsenal made a pre-summer offer worth 55 million pounds sterling for KoundeBut Laporta quickly responded with a non -polished, because the defender is considered far too large to even consider selling.

It was always a very big step for Arsenal to try Barça to sell their starry man, who can play both centrally and back, but it is clear to see why they made a daring attempt to do it.

“I played against him in the Champions League,” said his international teammate in France Dayot Upamecano.

“He is a confident player and I hope things continue in this way. He is also a leader and he is starting to have a lot of experience. I wish him all the best.”
