It goes without saying that, with their budget being restricted, Arsenal will be looking to add offensive reinforcements in the summer.
In recent weeks, Mikel Arteta has substituted Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard, and Eddie Nketiah up top in place of moves for players such as Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen.
‘EXTREME FEARS’ from Barcelona confirmed: Arsenal’s decision to acquire the superstar
Despite scoring 25 goals in their last six league games, Arsenal is one of the Premier League’s top scorers in 2024. However, they are still anticipated to add more players in the summer.
The player’s father has stated that he would probably stay in Serie A, thus it is unlikely that the team will be able to make a move for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia of Napoli.
Plans are still being made for the off-season, though, and Barcelona’s financial situation may present an opportunity for the north London team to strike.
According to reports in the Spanish media, Arsenal is thinking about making a double move for Ferran Torres and Raphinha, two strikers for Barcelona.
In 2020–21, his first season since leaving Las Palmas, he played 52 games for Barcelona and another 21 at different levels for Spain. Since then, he has managed fewer than 80 games.
It’s possible that he won’t add to that total before the summer after leaving the field in tears during the match against Athletic Club.
Arsenal can no longer consider making a move for such an injury-prone player, and even Barcelona seems unsure if Pedri can return to the kind of play that once made him one of the world’s most sought-after players.
Since the Gunners have such strict hiring practices, manager Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu have had record-breaking success in this area in recent years.
They have no history of signing players with similar injury histories to Pedri’s, especially not for the kind of money Barcelona would ask to get the player.
Despite his ongoing complaints about injuries, the 21-year-old, who is out of contract in 2026, has an estimated transfer value of €62.3 million.
Although Pedri has also been linked to Manchester City and Bayern Munich, any side that signs him today must have complete faith in their medical staff to work a miracle and keep him fit on a regular basis.
Because they spent time with Leeds United and Manchester City, respectively, those two have some Premier League experience.
Since making the dream transfer from Elland Road to Barca, Raphinha, 27, has netted 15 goals in 75 games for the team. However, Fichajes has named Raphinha as one of the players who may be benched as the Catalans look to save costs.
Similarly, Ferran, 24, has limited playing time because of injuries despite scoring 25 goals in 103 games for Barcelona.
