According to sources from A Bola, Sporting CP’s dressing room is increasingly confident that Goncalo Inacio will leave the club right in the January transfer window when the Portuguese star received interest from many big teams.
Besides Manchester United or Liverpool, the above daily newspaper revealed that Arsenal is also starting to rise plan to approach this left-footed midfielder.
Arsenal almost ‘handicap” Jurrien Timber was in the first half of the season when the Dutch rookie suffered an ACL injury and has not yet been able to return. However, Mikel Arteta seems to no longer have the patience to wait when the North London team’s defense shows signs of weakness.
Faced with this situation, the Gunners tried to recruit Inacio. A Bola newspaper confirmed, The Gunners are willing to spend 40 million euros in fixed fees plus 20 million euros in additional fees to close the deal, profit This offer is almost equal to the 22-year-old star’s contract release clause.
In addition to his defensive skills, Inacio is also highly appreciated for his calm and accurate ball handling situations under pressure. Therefore, he has entered Arteta’s sights.
Getting rid of Thomas Partey, Arsenal is determined to recruit Fulham’s ‘steel shield’
Journalist Ben Jacobs confirmed Arsenal are looking to strengthen their midfield and they have contacted Joao Palhinha.
Coach Mikel Arteta is said to be very impressed with what Joao Palhinha has done in the Premier League . Palhinha has appeared in 20 matches and scored 2 goals for Fulham this season.
Arsenal want the signature of Palhinha
The midfielder’s pursuit could prove difficult due to Arsenal’s financial constraints in January. However, the possibility of a deal is not impossible.
Fulham anticipated the possibility of Palhinha leaving, so they moved to sign André, a 22-year-old Brazilian talent from Fluminense. Arsenal is also considering selling midfielder Thomas Partey to have more finances to pursue Palhinha.
Partey is still recovering from injury and has entered the final 18 months of his contract. Teams in Saudi Arabia and Juventus are closely monitoring Partey’s situation.
Meanwhile, Palhinha, who almost joined Bayern Munich last summer, has attracted attention from a number of top Premier League clubs, including Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea.
Palhinha’s only negative point probably comes from the fact that he is 28 years old and is not part of the Gunners’ rejuvenation policy.
