TA: Arsenal s new executive appreciates Rodrigo! The Gunners are still confident to sign Zubimendi!
8:58pm, 17 May 2025【Football】
Saliba was selected for the shortlist of the Premier League's best young players this season.
Neither Skelli nor Envanelli were selected. To be honest, Enwa still played too few games, especially at the end of the season. Although Skelly is not the main player all season, I think he should be selected.
It’s not that the people on the list are not worthy, but I always feel that many people here are not young players...
Arteta attended the pre-match press conference, and we only look at the key content.
Havertz has resumed training. Can he make a comeback in this game?
We will make a decision tomorrow, and he has participated in some training classes in the past two days. Havertz looks in good condition, but first we need to look at the attitude of the team doctor, and then we need to look at the true feelings of Havertz at that time.
Arsenal has encountered some new injuries. What are the situations of Rice, Trosad, Martinel and Timber?
They also participated in some training sessions and did not participate in the training in full, so we need to check it out tomorrow, because they were not ready at the beginning of this week.
For many players, this may be their last game at the Emirates Stadium for Arsenal, will Thomas still appear here next season?
I don't like to discuss specific names. As you said, there are many situations (contract expiration, loan expiration, etc.), and we will try to show our attitude, how much we love them, how much we cherish our time together, and hope that fans can pass on these to them.
There is a saying that with Berta taking office, he may be recommending some players different from the one you want, and your ideas may not be exactly the same. What do you think?
If this happens, it only means that we have not explained ourselves clearly and have not explained what we want. I can assure you that this is not the case at all. This hasn't happened in the 5 and a half years I've worked with Edu and I can guarantee that there is no such problem with Berta either.
Some work is done well, others are not satisfactory, and we need to learn from it to ensure that the right decision is made. We are all humans, and fortunately, no one here can predict the future with a crystal ball.
Arsenal does not have a Club World Cup mission this summer. Are you relieved? Do you feel like the team needs rest?
I think we want to be involved. There is no choice, we are not qualified to participate, but we have to plan and build a lineup that can win all these championships.
Do you also want to finalize the transfer as soon as possible this summer, especially the priority target, as Real Madrid and Liverpool have done?
Yes, in theory, I think every club, every coach and player wants to complete the transfer task from day one to allow new players to adapt as soon as possible. But the reality is that sometimes this is impossible and difficult. Of course, theoretically, we certainly hope that the faster the better.
Winger previously said that winning the top four is like winning a trophy. Do you think so too?
I know what the context of this sentence was at that time, so I will not fall into your trap. The season is almost over, and there is nothing to say, so let's take a look. The main ones are injuries, contract renewal and signing.
Havertz has resumed training, but I feel that he does not have the conditions to play at the moment, mainly because he does not take risks. It depends on Arteta's decision.
Martin appears to have suffered an injury during training, Rice is a hamstring problem, and the severity is not clear at this time. It would be better to score three points in this home game. Villa and Chelsea both won in the early morning, and the points were already within one game. If Arsenal lost at home, after all, there would still be some pressure in the last away game against Southampton.
The ideal situation is to lock in the Champions League qualification against Newcastle!
Arteta did not give a positive answer regarding Thomas' contract renewal, but it can be confirmed that Arsenal is negotiating a contract renewal, so wait for news.
As for the inconsistent opinions of Berta and Arteta on the signing, although Tazi does not admit it, according to media reports, this situation is very obvious. For example, Tazi wants Garcia, but Berta doesn't want to buy it; the first forward goal was Seschko, now Dzekelais; the first goal of the winger was Williams, and now Berta wants to operate Rodrigo... In short, there are still changes, but this does not mean that the two have conflicts, it is two different things. It can only be said that the new executive has new ideas.
In fact, for Arsenal, there is an advantage next season, that is, there is no need to participate in the Club World Cup. Manchester City has a Club World Cup mission, which will definitely affect their preparations for next season (the Club World Cup from mid-June to mid-July), and Arsenal should complete the signing as soon as possible to wait for the effort!
S Ronaldo, Ivobi and Anthony Robinson all said in an official interview with Fulham that in addition to the Craven Farm Stadium, their favorite Premier League stadium is the Emirates Stadium.
S Ronaldo said: "Emerals Stadium, I think many people have known it for a long time!"
Ivobi: "Emerals Stadium."
Robinson: "Maybe Emirates Stadium is my favorite. I was an Arsenal fan when I was a child."
In fact, many people say that Emirates Stadium is their favorite, including Manchester City's Gralish also said...
By the way, Robinson was a gun fan when he was a child. Don't hear it. This is also a left-back...
Look at the transfer rumors below! According to the gunnerblog news written by TA, in addition to Saliba, Berta also had a tentative discussion with Gabriel, Thomas, Envaneri and Trosad's agents, and the negotiations with Saka are about to begin.
On Thomas's issue, Arsenal hopes to retain him with a relatively short contract. Thomas' priority is to stay in the team, provided that his requirements are met.
The so-called relatively short contract is probably a 1+1 or 2+1 contract. Let’s see if the treatment can be negotiated.
Thomas is obviously the top priority. Saliba and Saka must also renew their contracts as soon as possible. I think Trosad can wait and see if you can buy a suitable winger in the summer.
gunnerblog published a long article on TA. This is just one of the contents. Let's split it up and take a look. According to
gunnerblog, Arsenal is still confident that Zubimendi will join. The Gunner chose a straight-forward approach and directly contacted Real Sociedad to express his intention to acquire. The relationship between the clubs of the two sides is very good, and this relationship was maintained during the negotiation process.
reported that direct negotiations with Real Sociedad have obvious advantages - that is, payment structure. Through negotiations, Arsenal can avoid paying a one-time penalty of 60 million euros, which will help North London giants have greater room for operation in the transfer market this summer.
Recently, Assistant newspaper reported that Real Madrid wanted to intercept Hu Zubimendi at the last moment, but I feel that at present, this is unlikely, and Arsenal has basically finalized the deal.
And the article also says that Zubi Mendi's liquidated damages do not need to be paid in one lump sum, which is very important. If the down payment only costs 30 million or even lower, then you can definitely use more money to strengthen other positions in the summer, so if you can not directly activate it, it is better not to activate it directly. Edu's working model before was relatively simple and crude, either activate the liquidated damages or terminate the contract...
, wait and see, I personally think there is no problem with this transaction. According to
gunnerblog, Arsenal intends to introduce a winger, but this may require the sale of an existing player at the position first.
Arsenal has long been interested in Williams, and Berta admires Rodrigo very much, but the financial parameters required to complete the exchange will be very challenging, and Gittens has also attracted the attention of Arsenal.
On the other hand, Berta also keeps an understanding of Watkins' situation. Arteta admires the center very much, but the Gunners are not willing to pay more than £40 million for the 30-year-old player at the end of the year.
The left winger, if you buy someone, you will definitely leave. There is no need for three players to compete in this position. Whether it is Williams, Gittens or even Rodrigo, anyone who joins needs to leave, maybe Trosad.
Berta feels that his vision is good, but to be honest, it is too difficult to operate Rodrigo, and it may not be cost-effective. It depends on how much budget it has to buy the center...
Watkins obviously shouldn't consider it anymore. At such a big age, a transfer fee is not high or low, being a main player is not enough, and being a substitute is too wasteful, it's better to choose between Zhekelais and Xieske.
I feel that the winger position will not be promoted until the center signing is implemented, because the next budget must ensure that the most important position is used. According to
gunnerblog, Joan Garcia's current liquidated damages are 25 million euros, which can rise to 30 million euros in two situations: one is that Garcia is selected for the Spanish national team, and the other is after entering the last 15 days of the transfer window.
In view of this, if Arsenal wants to sign Garcia for 25 million euros, they need to act quickly, or they try to avoid activating the liquidated damages clause through negotiations.
But anyway, this price is very expensive for a goalkeeper who is likely to only play as a substitute, so if you can find a more affordable option, then Berta may shift its target.
Whether it is 25 million or 30 million, it is not worth spending so much on a substitute goalkeeper. Which wealthy family will spend so much money on a substitute goalkeeper? There are no Paris and Manchester City either...
Mirror also reports. According to RT, Arsenal still admires Joan Garcia very much, but internally, Berta is skeptical of a goalkeeper who can only serve as a substitute for Raya.
reported that Garcia himself is confident of replacing any goalkeeper in the world, and he has the ambition to grow into one of the best in the world at this position, and sources close to the goalkeeper said he will not decide the future now, but things may also develop rapidly after the season ends.
must be doubted, because Raya performed well, and the substitute goalkeepers had almost no chance to play, so why spend tens of millions to buy it?
If you say that he replaces Raya, it would be even more unreasonable. Can you still sell Raya? So why have you been repeatedly trying to get the goalkeeper over the past few years? I think the goalkeeper issue is not worth discussing like this. Let Adam buy a substitute goalkeeper with less than 10 million yuan, or even sign-free or continue renting one. It's fine.
Moreover, Garcia certainly does not accept the bench positioning. The latest news is that Villa wants to sign Garcia to replace Martinez, who may transfer this summer. According to German Sky Sports, since no contract renewal agreement has been reached with Bayern, Arsenal has returned to the competition in Sane, and other Premier League teams are also waiting for the winger's decision.
According to the current news, Sane may have failed to renew his contract, but no matter what, I don’t think it has anything to do with Arsenal... No other media has reported it so far.
So let's do it first. Just take a look.
