Arsenal offers €45m to sign Real Madrid’s “Joker”.. and Perez is about to agree

Arsenal still have a lot to say in the transfer market , and are not satisfied with the additions they have already made. Although Mikel Arteta could consider himself satisfied after having bought Jurrien Timber, Kai Havertz or Declan Rice, he still calls for more moves, and believes that the squad has considerable room for improvement.

So he didn’t hesitate for a moment before requesting the directive to sign more stars.

Because in order to reach the level of Manchester City it will be necessary to make a very important investment and to bring footballers who are fully established in the elite, who perform at an excellent level from the first moment.

And the demarcation where he has put more emphasis is in the center of the field and at the back. For this, he has placed David Alaba ‘s name on the agenda , for which they can present a formal proposal to Real Madrid .

In fact, they are already preparing an offensive to try to convince Florentino Pérez to open the doors to the versatile 31-year-old defender.

45 million euros is the figure they intend to offer for the Austrian international, who will also have to seduce him to choose to leave the Santiago Bernabéu.

And he has always assured that he is very happy under the orders of Carlo Ancelotti, and that he made an excellent decision opting for a transfer to La Liga Santander.

However, Arteta is confident of being able to reach an agreement with the ex-TSG Hoffenheim or Bayern Munich player so that he lands in the Premier League, a competition that has always ensured that it particularly seduces him, although he has never been able to play there.

The ‘gunners’ promise him to be an indispensable piece , and to be part of a very attractive project, whose challenge is to win titles, in addition to practicing offensive and colorful football.

Alaba is also offered a very interesting contract, which guarantees him a slightly higher salary than he currently has in Madrid. Specifically, he would start charging around 15 net ‘kilos’ per year, while at the moment he earns 12.

Florentino Pérez, with doubts

Far from considering Alaba as untouchable, Florentino Pérez has doubts about whether it is worth accepting Arsenal’s proposal. Because it should not be neglected that the ‘4’ is already an advanced age, and that during the past year he showed a very irregular version, accumulating injuries.

In addition, with Rüdiger and Nacho Fernández they have two spare guarantees in case he finally leaves Madrid.
