Reports suggest Arsenal have received approval to chase a major transfer target worth £85 million.
Arsenal making moves for summer target
Rafael Leao’s future at AC Milan is again a talking point in North London. The Milan star has long been a subject of interest to the Gunners’ scouts. He is still playing top football in Serie A, scoring four goals in his last five games.
This comes despite hints of a possible new contract from Milan. The sources from the club hint that a huge offer could possibly be the deciding factor. The head coach of the Gunners, Mikel Arteta has been looking to bring in more pace. He is believed to envision Leao as the ideal choice to be alongside his current forwards. The club’s backing allows Arsenal to proceed if Milan shows any interest in bargaining.
Gunners’ next big statement
For Arsenal, this move isn’t just about adding another attacker. It’s about sending a message in the title race. As their opponents become stronger, the North London side are aware that they cannot let themselves get lagged behind.
A player like Leao, with his rapidity, artistic play, and scoring, might lead them to victory in the hard-fought matches. Sources say a recent post-Sunderland meeting at the club touched on finalizing plans for the January window. In addition, Leao’s name is topping the list at the moment. If Milan’s stance softens, Arsenal are ready to act fast and break their transfer record.
Author’s opinion:
Leao’s probable move to Arsenal might change their front line and turn them into genuine title challengers. Arteta’s concept has, as usual, given priority to both sides and to giving the game the quality it needs. That said, hiring a player of Leao’s skill would be a risky yet huge move to that goal.
