Arsenal ‘keeping tabs’ on Alex Grimaldo situation with Benfica defender ‘available for just £6m summer transfer’
by Philippa Kaur 6 July 2022, 15:42
ARSENAL are monitoring the transfer situation of Benfica full-back Alex Grimaldo, according to reports. Grimaldo is said to be available for as little as £6million this summer as a host of clubs line up a potential bid for the left-back.

Arsenal are in the market for a player in that position, with their £40m pursuit for versatile Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez looking likely to fall flat after Man United went ahead in the race to sign him.
As a result, Arsenal could turn their attention to the 26-year-old Spaniard.
Portuguese newspaper Record have reported The Gunners are ‘attentive to the situation,’ while Ligue 1 side Lyon are also on the list of interested clubs.
Grimaldo has one year left on his current deal and unless he signs a new one Benfica would lose him for nothing next summer, a situation The Eagles would like to avoid.

It has also been noted Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Grimaldo share the same agency, which could end up being a decisive swing factor.
Arsenal have already completed transfers for four players, spending £83m.
These acquisitions include striker Gabriel Jesus, Porto’s Fabio Viera, goalkeeper Matt Turner and youngster Marquinhos.
But this spree is set to continue further as The Gunners line up a bid of £30m for Leicester’s Youri Tielemans.

Arteta and Co are determined to seal more signings, with Leicester star Youri Tielemans top of their list.
They are hoping to fund moves through player sales, but are struggling to find much interest.
Record signing Nicolas Pepe, as well as Bernd Leno, Hector Bellerin, Lucas Torreira, Pablo Mari, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Reiss Nelson are all available for transfer but have so far failed to attract any serious offers.
Fulham have shown an interest in Leno, who could be swayed by the opportunity to stay in London by the newly-promoted side.

Bellerin wanted to make his loan move to Real Betis permanent, but has returned to pre-season training with Arsenal.
Torreira’s loan move to Fiorentina could not be made permanent after the Serie A side offered just £6m.
Meanwhile Mari spent last season at Udinese, while Maitland-Niles and Nelson enjoyed loan spells at Roma and Feyenoord respectively.
Arsenal have stepped up their interest in Youri Tielemans and are ready to make a firm offer for the Leicester midfielder.

And they are confident of sealing a £30million deal for the 25-year-old Belgian international despite rival interest from Manchester United and Newcastle.
Arteta has turned to Tielemans after top target Ruben Neves was priced out of the market by Wolves’ £75million valuation of their Portuguese playmaker.
Arsenal have also explored the possibility of a bid for Lazio’s Sergej Malinkovic-Savic, but the Serbian international is two years older than Tielemans, has never played in the Premier League and would cost in excess of £50million.
Leicester are reluctant to lose Tielemans, but with only one year left on his contract the club have accepted they will have to cash in now rather than risk losing him as a free agent next summer.
Tielemans has made it clear that he is keen to become a major player in Arsenal’s rebuilding process despite the club missing out on Champions League qualification for a sixth consecutive season.

Arsenal to launch £30m Youri Tielemans transfer offer and confident of beating Man Utd to Leicester star
by Philippa Kaur 6 July 2022, 14:16
ARSENAL have stepped up their interest in Youri Tielemans and are ready to make a firm offer for the Leicester midfielder.And they are confident of sealing a £30million deal for the 25-year-old Belgian international despite rival interest from Manchester United and Newcastle.

Manager Mikel Arteta has already been allowed to spend £83million this summer to beef up his squad with the signings of Gabriel Jesus, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner and Marquinhos.
Now he is turning his attention to strengthening his midfield and has been given the green light to make his next move in the market.
Arteta has turned to Tielemans after top target Ruben Neves was priced out of the market by Wolves’ £75million valuation of their Portuguese playmaker.
Arsenal have also explored the possibility of a bid for Lazio’s Sergej Malinkovic-Savic, but the Serbian international is two years older than Tielemans, has never played in the Premier League and would cost in excess of £50million.

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is reluctant to lose Tielemans, who has been a key player at the King Power since becoming the club’s record signing when he joined from Monaco for £40million three years ago.
But with only one year left on his contract the club have reluctantly accepted they will have to cash in now rather than risk losing him as a free agent next summer.
And Tielemans has made it clear that he is keen to become a major player in Arsenal’s rebuilding process despite the club missing out on Champions League qualification for a sixth consecutive season.
Yet his signing will not be the end of Arteta’s spending spree, although he is resigned to missing out on Leeds winger Raphinha despite tabling a £55million bid.

The club are refusing to give up hope of signing Ajax centre-half Lisandro Martinez even though the Argentine international appears to be heading to Manchester United for £40million.
But Arteta’s plans are being hampered by the club’s struggles to offload any of the seven players who do not figure in his plans.
Nicolas Pepe, Bernd Leno, Hector Bellerin, Lucas Torreira, Pablo Mari, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Reiss Nelson are all available for sale but have so far failed to attract any serious offers.

The winger is one of several players who were called up for international duty last month who have yet to return to training.
Granit Xhaka and Aaron Ramsdale were also missing with new signing Matt Turner being tested out in goal.
Several youngsters have joined the first-team for the trip to Germany however and it will be interesting to see if they are included on the pre-season tour of the US.
At the end of the session some players signed t-shirts and footballs for a small group of fans who came to watch.

The Parisian club are said to be after a buyer for the Brazilian because he has a clause in his contract that will see it extended to 2027 on £600,000-a-week wages if they don’t sell him by NEXT Friday.
Elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund have slapped a huge £103m asking price on teen sensation Jude Bellingham.

Tottenham close in on Lenglet
Tottenham are reportedly on the verge of clinching a loan deal for Barcelona star Clement Lenglet.
And Di Marzio claims Lenglet has been chosen by the Spurs boss for a north London summer switch.
Marseille were thought to be leading the race for Lenglet, who’s been capped 15 times by France.
But Italian tactician Conte has stormed in late on.
And Lenglet is now set to ply his trade in the Premier League as Spurs’ new left-sided centre-half.
Fulham face Manor Solomon loss
Fulham are facing the prospect of losing out on forward Manor Solomon with French club Nice attempting to hijack the deal.
The Israel international has been a long term target for boss Marco Silva and is close to joining the Cottagers from Ukrainian side Shakthar Donetsk.
Silva’s side have all but agreed a deal worth around £7million for the 22-year-old but have not yet fully completed.
Sources close to the player believe that all aspects are ready to go on the deal and that they are just awaiting the final seal from Fulham.
As the newly promoted side delay, however, Nice are trying to muscle in.
The Ligue 1 side, owned by British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, have offered a bigger fee to Shakthar and a larger wage to Solomon than that on offer from West London.
Solomon, however, would still prefer a switch to the Premier League but is beginning to consider other options should Fulham continue to delay.
Pickford set for new contract
Everton are are reportedly in talks with Jordan Pickford over a new long-term deal.
The Mail claims Pickford is now set to be rewarded with a lucrative fresh contract.
The England No1, 28, hast two years left to run on his current deal.
Frank Lampard is a huge fan of Pickford, who cost £30million from Sunderland in 2017.
And he wants the stopper to commit his golden years at Goodison Park ahead of a summer rebuild.
Ronaldo to Sporting Lisbon?
Sporting Lisbon director of football Hugo Viana has refused to rule out Cristiano Ronaldo returning to the club.
He told Sky Sports on a possible summer move: “Not now, I don’t think that will be possible.
“But we never know. He can decide where he can go. But you never know the future.
“I don’t want to talk a lot about that because when we speak about Cristiano it is quite different.
“I think he has one more year on his contract, so whatever he decides, let’s see.”
Brentford eye ex-United flop
Brentford are plotting a swoop for ex-Manchester United flop Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.
The goalkeeper moved to Old Trafford back in 2014 from Serbian club Vojvodina.
He then suffered work permit issues that prevented him from making an appearance for the club.
And that led to his departure from United just a year later having failed to make any impact.
Now TuttoSport claims that Brentford are lining up a bid to give the now Torino stopper a second shot at the Premier League.
Chelsea face Raphinha coup
Chelsea are fighting Barcelona’s 11th-hour attempt to sign Raphinha.
Blues owner Todd Boehly looked like he had bagged the Brazil winger after agreeing a £55million deal with Leeds.
But having seen off interest from rivals Arsenal, Boehly now faces the threat of losing out to Barcelona.
Raphinha’s agent Deco, who played for both Barca and Chelsea, was spotted at the Spanish giants’ offices on Wednesday in a last-ditch attempt to engineer a move.
Richarlison to Tottenham confirmed
Richarlison is set to undergo a medical at Tottenham TODAY after agreeing to move from Everton, according to reports.
Spurs are still haggling with the Toffees over the final details of the deal, although a fee of around £50million and £10m in add-ons has been agreed in principle.
Richarlison, 25, has settled on personal terms with Tottenham and is eager to make the move.
According to The Athletic, the Brazilian’s Spurs medical will take place today with a transfer imminent.
The forward is eager to test himself at the highest level, and will be able to play Champions League football for the first time with Spurs.
Rangers face transfer battle
Four Euro clubs are keen to beat Rangers to sign Antonio Colak.
SunSport understands the PAOK striker is a target for Copenhagen, Panathinaikos, Real Mallorca and his former club Malmo as the race for the £2.5million-rated Croatian international, 28, hots up.
But it’s understood the Light Blues remain favourites with the frontman clear Ibrox is his favoured destination if a deal can be agreed with the Greeks.
We revealed Gers had made an improved £2m offer plus bonuses in a bid to prise Colak away from PAOK’s Dutch pre-season camp.
But that too has been rejected with PAOK chiefs adamant about the deal matching what they paid Rijeka two years ago.
Chelsea get De Ligt boost
Chelsea have received a major boost in their pursuit of Matthijs de Ligt after Juventus’ CEO hinted that the star wants to leave.
uventus chief Maurizio Arrivabene has appeared to have bolstered their hopes of landing De Ligt – saying they will be happy to do business as long as their asking price is met.
He said: “It’s impossible to keep players when they want to leave the club – but all the three parties in the negotiations have to be satisfied.”
Good Morning football fans.
Man Utd are looking to hijack Arsenal’s bid to land Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.
The Gunners have put in a third offer for the Argentine centre-back – after being told their previous bid of £34million was not enough.
But United have now registered their interest to the Dutch giants and asked to be kept informed of developments.
Erik ten Hag was planning to switch his attention to his forward line now deals for Frenkie de Jong and Tyrrell Malacia have been set up.
However the Red Devils were concerned that the 24-year-old Martinez would be heading for North London unless they made their interest known quickly.
Martinez has set his heart on a move to the Premier League – although the Dutch giants will demand around £43m to think about letting him leave.
Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku is back in Italy ahead of his return to Inter Milan and has proudly posed with a club scarf.
The 29-year-old will link up with the San Siro outfit for a second time just a year after he re-joined Chelsea in a club-record £97.5million deal.
But he failed to hit the heights expected of him at Stamford Bridge, with Thomas Tuchel deeming him surplus to requirements.
And Inter have been quick to secure his services with the Serie A giants agreeing a £6.9m season-long loan deal with the Blues.
More on Martinez
Arsenal’s opening bid of £26m was rejected – as was their second which was £8m higher.
Their latest offer is a similar downpayment but with more add-ons – so that may not be enough to tempt Ajax to do business.
They are now likely to wait to see if a firm offer comes in for Lisandro Martinez from United.
He had previously indicated he was happy to join Arsenal but the prospect of re-uniting with his former boss Ten Hag at Old Trafford may change his mind.
It would be a blow for Mikel Arteta who has also seen Chelsea move in for another of his key targets, Raphinha, in recent days.
Spanish giants Barcelona are also in the race for the Brazilian who is rated at around £60m by his current club Leeds.
Meanwhile United are happy with the way their move for Malacia is progressing – despite a late bid from Lyon to turn his head back towards them.
He is expected to move to the North West and provide competition for Luke Shaw next season.
S-mart money
Man Utd are looking to hijack Arsenal’s bid to land Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.
The Gunners have put in a third offer for the Argentine centre-back – after being told their previous bid of £34million was not enough.
But United have now registered their interest to the Dutch giants and asked to be kept informed of developments.
Erik ten Hag was planning to switch his attention to his forward line now deals for Frenkie de Jong and Tyrrell Malacia have been set up.
However the Red Devils were concerned that the 24-year-old Martinez would be heading for North London unless they made their interest known quickly.
Martinez has set his heart on a move to the Premier League – although the Dutch giants will demand around £43m to think about letting him leave.
Everton in talks for Winks
Everton are likely to sign Harry Winks regardless of where Richarlison‘s future lies, according to Givemesport.
The Brazilian international is being strongly linked with a move to Tottenham, with a potential swap deal involving Winks under consideration, but Jones is confident the midfielder will end up linking up with ex-teammate Dele Alli, no matter what happens with Richarlison.
According to Sky Sports’ Michael Bridge, Spurs and Everton are in talks over Winks, although the north Londoners are pushing for a permanent transfer, while the Toffees are seeking a loan deal with an option to buy.
Winks has already been told to find a new club by Tottenham and has been valued at around £20m.
Meanwhile, the same outlet state that Spurs are interested in Richarlison and Anthony Gordon, as Conte hopes to provide squad depth ahead of the club’s return to the Champions League next term.
Koul runnings
Kalidou Koulibaly has reportedly emerged as a potential target for Chelsea.
It has been claimed that the Senegal international has been added to Thomas Tuchel’s shortlist in his quest to bolster his backline.
The Blues boss is desperate for reinforcements in defence after Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen departed as free agents.
Chelsea have been linked with a host of players, with the club reportedly having a £34million offer plus either Timo Werner or Christian Pulisic for Matthijs de Ligt rejected by Juventus.
They are also understood to be keen on bringing Manchester City’s Nathan Ake back to Stamford Bridge.
Meanwhile Sevilla star Jules Kounde remains of interest, however they face competition from Barcelona in the race to secure the Frenchman’s services.
Tuchy subject
Romelu Lukaku did not enjoy a successful return to Chelsea and part of the reason for his failure was his strained relationship with Thomas Tuchel.
Lukaku, 29, first got on the wrong side of the German by publicly expressing his desire to return to Inter in a now infamous interview.
In the same interview Lukaku also criticised Tuchel’s style of play, suggesting it restricted him to too few chances in front of goal.
But Tuchel also irritated Lukaku with a jibe that poked fun at the striker’s relationship with his former manager Antonio Conte.
According to Goal’s Nizaar Kinsella, Lukaku was left unhappy with Tuchel’s wind-up.
Kinsella revealed: “To see him talk so highly of Inter [during the Sky Italia interview] was an insult to Chelsea fans. It broke the relationship with them.
“And there was another incident behind the scenes that wasn’t televised or anything like that.
“Someone told me that Lukaku and Tuchel were watching a Tottenham game and Tuchel said, ‘There’s your daddy’, about Antonio Conte.
“It was just a joke, but apparently, it didn’t go down very well with Lukaku.”
ICYMI
PSG star Neymar has been informed by club chiefs he is no longer wanted at Parc des Princes, reports suggest.
That is according to RMC Sport, who claim PSG are keen to rebuild without the star forward ahead of this coming season.
The Brazil international has been linked with a summer exodus from Paris this summer with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United showing interest,
United, Chelsea and Newcastle would be the only realistic transfer options for Neymar if he does leave PSG, whom he joined for a world record £200million in 2017.
The Premier League trio are the only clubs with the financial might to meet the Parisians and the striker’s financial demands.
Raph news
Raphinha’s agent was spotted at the Nou Camp less than 24 hours after Chelsea appeared to move into pole position to sign the Leeds winger.
The west Londoners dealt a hammer blow to Arsenal’s hopes of signing the Brazilian on Tuesday by tabling a bid north of £55million for his services.
A deal has yet to be reached and talks with the player’s agent – former Barcelona ace Deco – are set to take place later this week.
But Barca could be poised to land the winger after Deco was spotted at the Nou Camp with club chiefs Rafa Yuste, Mateu Alemany, Enric Masip and president Joan Laporta.
Spanish journalist Victor Navvaro captured footage of the group leaving the stadium and shared it on Twitter.
Spurs ‘set to snag genius’
Tottenham are set to snap up the set-piece genius who help fire Italy to Euro 2020 glory.
Veteran coach Gianni Vio, 69, is in talks to join Antonio Conte’s backroom staff ahead of the new season as the Italian looks to improve Spurs’ threat from set pieces.
The ex-banker-turned-deadball boffin wrote a thesis on set pieces as part of his coaching badges and claims to have more than 4,000 routines up his sleeve.
Vio helped Roberto Mancini at Euro 2020 last year and has previously worked at AC Milan, Leeds and Brentford.
Of the big six, only Manchester United scored fewer goals from set pieces than Spurs’ eight last season, meaning it is an area Conte is desperate to improve as they bid to bridge the gap to Manchester City and Liverpool.
Southampton ‘sign Man City starlet’
Southampton are on the verge of signing Man City starlet Romeo Lavia, according to reports.
The Saints were locked in battle with Leeds for the 18-year-old’s services.
But the Saint Mary’s outfit have emerged victorious in the transfer race, The Athletic reported.
City wanted to keep hold of Lavia and have the option to buy him back, the report adds.

Dutch courage
Everton are leading the race to sign Tottenham star Steven Bergwijn, according to reports.
Spurs are believed to be open to selling the Netherlands international this summer amid interest from Everton and Ajax.
Bergwijn, 24, has also admitted that he is seeking a transfer as he looks to play regular football.
And it seems Everton have the upper hand as they are willing to offer Bergwijn more money than Ajax, report De Telegraaf.
The Toffees are reportedly ready to match Tottenham’s asking price too, believed to be in the region of £21million.
But Bergwijn is said to prefer a move to Ajax due to the Dutch champions being able to offer Champions League football.
Rab race
Adrien Rabiot wants to leave Juventus to join a Premier League club this summer.
The Telegraph claim Rabiot wants to leave the Serie A heavyweights to join an English club playing Champions League football.
And Juventus have agreed to his requests and will look to offload him for between £13-17million this summer.
Betfair think Chelsea are the frontrunners at odds of 5/2.
Three other Champions League sides in Liverpool (5/1), Manchester City (8/1) and Tottenham (10/1) are next in the betting markets.
Italian publication Calciomercato claim Liverpool are hatching a plan to swap Adrien Rabiot and Naby Keita, who are both 27 with 12 months remaining on their current deals.
There’s a large jump to Europa League duo Manchester United and Arsenal, who are locked together at 20/1.
Eye of the Hag-er
Erik Ten Hag is close to making Tyrell Malacia his first signing as Manchester United boss and he has liked the defender for some time.
United are reportedly set to hijack Lyon’s move for the Feyenoord star in a £14m deal.
And Ten Hag knows a lot about the left-back from his time as Ajax manager – when he first set eyes on the youngster.
Footage has emerged from a match between Feyenoord and Ajax when Malacia certainly caught the eye.
Ten Hag is seen saying in Dutch: “That kid at left-back is amazing.”
He also tells his assistant Michael Reiziger to take note of Malacia, possibly with a view to signing him in the future.
Mad for you
Atletico Madrid are reportedly in talks with Arsenal over a transfer for Hector Bellerin.
Bellerin, 27, spent the season on loan at Real Betis and a move back to La Liga could be on the cards.
ElDesmarque report Atletico are “already negotiating” with the Gunners over the full-back, who has told the North London club of his desire to leave.
Bellerin knows “first-hand” of interest from the Madrid side and it is making him rethink his future.
He is “seduced” by the option of playing in the capital but Betis remains his preferred option after his successful 2021-22 campaign.
The Spain international impressed for his boyhood club where he helped the Seville outfit win the Copa del Rey, as well as finishing fifth.
Luk at that
Inter Milan fans turned out in force to get a glimpse of the returning Romelu Lukaku.
Lukaku arrived in Milan for a medical today after Chelsea agreed a £6.9million fee to ship the 29-year-old out on loan.
And Lukaku grinned broadly as he waved to adoring fans from the window of the Italian Olympic Committee’s headquarters in Milan.
The Chelsea flop waved and gave a thumbs up to the crowd who had defied a warning from Inter Ultras NOT to welcome Lukaku back to the club.
Scorned Curva Nord fanatics urged fans not to “run and drool” after Lukaku following his return.
Instead they claimed he will have to earn their affection back with “humility and sweat”.

Col me maybe
Southampton are considering a move for Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill as Ralph Hasenhuttl looks to continue his youth revolution.
The Saints have already snapped up two young players this summer in Gavin Bazunu – a goalkeeper from Manchester City – and 20-year-old defender Armel Bella-Kotchap, who arrived from German club Vfl Bochum.
And now Hasenhuttl wants to make another raid on Chelsea’s youth ranks.
The south coast side took three players from Cobham last summer with Tino Livramento and Dynel Simeu joining on permanent deals as well as Armando Broja spending last season on loan.
Now Colwill is in Southampton’s sights – with Premier League rivals Leicester City also tracking his progress.
The defender, 19, spent last season on loan with Championship side Huddersfield, who reached the play-off final where they lost to Nottingham Forest.

The winger has just one year remaining on his contract, which is why Real are willing to let him go.
And according to Tuttomercato Los Blancos will sell the Spain international if they receive a bid worth £22million.
The 26-year-old was offered a new deal by the reigning European champions but he has missed the deadline of June 20 to put pen to paper.

Arsenal ship out youngster
Arsenal youth star Ovie Ejeheri has joined Chelmsford City on a short term loan deal.
The 19-year-old stopper joined the Gunners’ academy aged eight, but he’s been shipped out until January.
It’s unclear at this point if he has a future with the club who revealed they’re looking forward to watching his development at the Essex-based side over the ensuing months.
Prem clubs in Raphinha boost
Chelsea and Arsenal have been handed in a huge boost in their respective pursuit of Leeds ace Raphinha.
That’s because Barcelona have been given until Thursday to mount a bid for the winger by Leeds.
Both Chelsea and the Gunners have presented substantial offers for Raphinha who is holding out for a move to Barca.
However Leeds are growing frustrated with the Catalan giants and have given them the imminent ultimatum to begin business, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Arsenal starlet’s swan son
Former Arsenal academy starlet Zak Swanson has revealed his desire to help Portsmouth get into the Championship next season.
The 21-year-old joined the Gunners in 2007 as a youth before signing a professional contract 12 years later.
But he moved to Pompey on Tuesday to seek regualr first-team football.
And he’s revealed his ambitious intent out the gate, saying: “The level is excellent. There’s some top players here who have played at a higher level.
“I can see the level is good and I think we could do good things this season.
“The aim is clear – to go up to the Championship.”
Arsenal ‘were offered Lenglet transfer’
Arsenal were offered the chance to sign Tottenham-bound Clement Lenglet, reports claim.
Lenglet’s move to White Hart Lane is on the brink of completion.
But it couldn’t been a different outcome if the Gunners pounced when they had the chance.
The Barcelona ace was presented to the Gunners but they opted to pursue Lisandro Martinez instead.
That’s according to football journalist Ryan Taylor, who said: “Lenglet has effectively been told by Barcelona he is free to find another club.
“And that saw him offered around to a number of clubs earlier in the window: including Spurs, Arsenal and Juventus.”
Arsenal plan to sell duo
Arsenal are planning to offload a number of fallen stars to balance the books following a busy transfer market.
The Gunners have already brought in Fabio Vieira, Marquinhos, and Gabriel Jesus.
They are also keen on Youri Tielemans and Lisandro Martinez.
But Mikel Arteta wants to shed the dead weight from his squad to accomadate the new arrivals.
Among those Arteta’s keen to sell is Reiss Nelson and Alex Runarsson, Goal claim.
Jesus seen on bike
The Arsenal squad has been working hard in Germany ahead of their first pre-season friendly on Friday.
Arsenal are set to take on Nuremberg for their first taste of pre-season action at the Max-Morlock-Stadion.
And the sun has been out in Germany as the Gunners squad trained in preparation.
There were some new faces in the camp including Gabriel Jesus, who was only announced as an Arsenal player on Monday.
His compatriot and fellow summer signing Marquinhos is also enjoying his first pre-season as a Gooner and was spotted juggling a ball with his head.
Nuno Tavares also posed for a photo alongside Emile Smith Rowe but fellow Hale End graduate Bukayo Saka was absent.
Szczensy reveals shock Juventus fine
Ex-Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has revealed he was FINED £34,000 for being late to training at Juventus.
The 32-year-old revealed in an interview alongside fellow Juventus star Weston McKennie he had paid the price of being late to training under current boss Massimiliano Allegri.
In the interview with CANAL+ SPORT he said: “We’ve both paid the share for being late quite heavily.
“He paid more but he was more late, a lot more.
“I paid 40 (thousand euros). I was late by one minute and 53 seconds and as I went in I looked at the clock and it was 18:01:53.”
Real Madrid plan Asensio exit
Real Madrid want to cash in on Marco Asensio this summer amid transfer interest from Arsenal and Liverpool.
The Spaniard, 26, is keen to move in search of more game time with AC Milan also believed to be interested.
Asensio has just one year remaining on his contract which is why Real Madrid are willing to let him go.
And according to Tuttomercato Los Blancos will sell the winger if they receive a bid worth £22million.
Asensio was offered a new deal by Real but he has missed the deadline of June 20 to put pen to paper.
The winger wanted a wage increase and is eager for more game time, which he might be more likely to find elsewhere.
Gnabry set for crunch talks
Serge Gnabry is reportedly set to hold crunch talks with Bayern Munich as he enters the final 12 months of his contract.
The 26-year-old winger has been linked with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal AND Manchester City.
Bayern though are keen to keep hold of the former Arsenal man – who scored 17 goals and provided 10 assists in all competitions last season.
The Bundesliga champions are planning a meeting with Gnabry and his representatives, according to German outlet Bild.
They are keen for Gnabry to extend his contract in order to fight off interest from elsewhere.
Wright shares Jesus excitement
Ian Wright has given his opinion on what Gabriel Jesus will bring to Arsenal next season.
Wright said: “I started to think about what he brings and what he can do. I was thinking, he’s perfect. He’s perfect – I don’t think they have promised him anything, he is going to play.
“For him, to come to our place knowing that he’s our main man. See a player ready to be number one, go to a club that they want him to be number one, it’s got to be a massive incentive for him.
“If we are looking at Salah and Son sharing the Golden Boot from out wide and how Gabriel Jesus will play more regularly and hopefully score more goals.
“You don’t need to be in there as that number nine, scoring loads of goals to win the Golden Boot, you can do it from the wing.
“All that intense rivalry is needed (between Jesus, Smith Rowe, Nketiah and Martinelli) of quality players because everybody has to step up – that signing is an amazing signing in respect of what we want to do.”
Jesus tipped for Arsenal success
Gabriel Jesus will flourish as the main man at Arsenal, according to Danny Murphy.
Murphy told the Daily Mirror: “I think being a bigger fish in a smaller pond and playing as a number nine and having the team being built around him will benefit him.
“I think he could be a brilliant signing for Arsenal, I think he could become somebody the fans love there.”
Paqueta ‘snubs several Prem clubs’
Lucas Paqueta has reportedly snubbed the chance to join Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City.
North London rivals Arsenal and Spurs were both keen, while Man City also allegedly made contact with the player’s camp over a potential move.
Now ESPN Brazil claims that Paqueta is set to remain at Lyon.
They state that none of the English trio were able to advance talks with the South American’s representatives over a deal.
Jesus mocked for choosing Arsenal
Gabriel Jesus has been ridiculed for joining “small club” Arsenal.
The jab was delivered by Brazilian media personality Neto who claimed the Gunners were a smaller club than South American minnows Portuguesa Santista.
Neto scoffed: “I saw that Gabriel Jesus went to Arsenal. Small club. Small club. Portuguesa Santista are bigger than Arsenal.
“Arsenal have won what in the last five years?”
Saka’s here to stay
Arsenal will tie Bukayo Saka down to a new contract in the next six months.
That’s according to Kevin Campbell who thinks Saka’s not going anywhere despite his contract situation.
Campbell said: “He is already under contract.
“These things are not just going to get done in a couple of months. These things could take six months but Arsenal are not, trust me, they are not going to sell Saka in this window.
“No chance. No chance.”
Arsenal starlet signs deal
Arsenal starlet Taylor Foran has signed a professional contract with the club.
The 18-year-old defender’s been with the Gunners for over a decade.
And now he’ll be rubbing shoulders with the big boys next season onwards.
Speaking on his new deal, Foran said: “I’m absolutely buzzing, it’s been a dream come true.
“Everyone around the building is so nice, the vibe is just unexplainable, everyone is out to help each other and I just knew it was the right place for me to continue my journey.”
Why Arsenal didn’t sign Bissouma
Arsenal didn’t sign Yves Bissouma because they’re focused on recruiting Youri Tielemans.
That’s the view of Arsenal icon Kevin Campbell who made the claims when asked why the Gunners didn’t battle Spurs for Bissouma.
He explained to the Highbury Squad: “I think we bypassed Bissouma because we want Tielemans.
“We want more of a progressive player in that midfield, somebody who can do the job in midfield but somebody who is going to be a goal-threat.
Arsenal eye two more transfers
Arsenal are aiming to make two more signings before the transfer window shuts.
That’s according to club legend Paul Merson who claims Arsenal’s transfer supremo Edu gave him the heads up during a conversation last weekend.
Merson said: “They are looking good. I’ve seen Edu on Sunday and we had a little chat. I think they’ve bought well, they’re trying to get a couple more players in.
But Merson remained tight-lipped when pressed on who the new arrivals will be out of respect for Edu.
He added: “I can’t say that, he was talking to me in confidence.”
Good morning Arsenal fans
Arsenal are pushing ahead with plans to sign a new midfielder this summer.
The Gunners are prioritising Leicester star Youri Tielemans for the role ahead of Lazio ace Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to Fabrizio Romano.
That is because Tielemans will cost the Gunners 40million less than Milinkovic-Savic.
The Belgium international’s contract expires in 2023, which means the Foxes could be open to letting him go on the cheap this summer, whereas Lazio are demanding £68m for the Serbia international.
But Arsenal, though, are still persistent in the transfer pursuit of Milinkovic-Savic.
The Gunners reportedly had a €55million (£47.2m) offer for the midfielder rebuffed as the Serie A side wanted more cash.
But the North Londoners are preparing to issue a new and improved bid for the 27-year-old, according to Il Messaggero.
However, Arsenal are reluctant to depart with the €65m (£55.8m) Lazio president Claudio Lotito is requesting.
Nevertheless, the Gunners are said to be in constant contact with the Serbia international’s agent Mateja Kezman to try and get a deal done.
Meanwhile, Ajax star Lisandro Martinez has allegedly told his club that he wants to quit and move to the Premier League.
Martinez is wanted by both Manchester United and Arsenal to bolster their defence.
The two clubs have both been haggling with the Dutch champions over the centre-back’s transfer fee.
But it is United that appear to be leading the chase after offering just shy of £40m for the Argentina international.
Now both the Red Devils and the Gunners have received a major boost after reports emerged that the 24-year-old has told Ajax he wants to depart for England.
Finally, Paulo Dybala is considering a move to the Premier League this summer.
Dybala officially left Juventus when his contract ran out at the end of last month and is now a free agent.
Inter Milan have been heavily linked with a swoop for the Argentina international, who met with the club’s vice-president Javier Zanetti just last month.
However, according to Sky Sport Italia, the Nerazzurri have put the forward on stand-by following the return of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea.
The 28-year-old will now look to the Prem as his next potential destination as Arsenal have been in contact with his agent in a bid to lure him to North London.
Manager Mikel Arteta needs another centre-forward despite the arrival of Gabriel Jesus after he lost both Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Arsenal are unable to promise more minutes given Bukayo Saka already occupies a role on the right-flank, and Liverpool are in the same situation with Mo Salah.
Serie A champions AC Milan may hold an advantage in the race to sign Asensio because of that, though the Prem duo could offer more money.
Reports suggest both Arsenal and Liverpool would be willing to offer Asensio £110,000-a-week, considerably more than Real’s £70k-a-week offer.
Asensio is willing to stay at the Bernabeu but only if he receives a wage increase after his impressive 2021-22 season.

Saka tipped for Arsenal stay
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka will not be leaving from the Emirates this summer.
That’s according to Arsenal legend Kevin Campbell who said to Highbury Squad: “He is already under contract.
“These things are not just going to get done in a couple of months.
“These things could take six months, but Arsenal are not, trust me, they are not going to sell Saka in this window. No chance. No chance”
Arsenal’s first Dybs
Paulo Dybala is considering a move to the Premier League this summer.
Dybala officially left Juventus when his contract expired at the end of last month and is now a free agent.
Inter Milan have been heavily linked with a swoop for the Argentina international, who met with the club’s vice-president Javier Zanetti last month.
However, according to Sky Sport Italia, the Nerazzurri have put the forward on stand-by following the return of Romelu Lukaku on loan from Chelsea.
The 28-year-old will now look to the Premier League as his next potential destination as Arsenal have been in contact with his agent in a bid to lure him to North London.

Arsenal fixture amendments

Lisandro Martinez demand
Ajax star Lisandro Martinez has allegedly told his club that he wants to quit the club and move to the Premier League.
Martinez is wanted by both Manchester United and Arsenal to bolster their backlines.
The two clubs have both been haggling with the Amsterdam giants over his transfer fee.
But it is the United that appear to be leading the chase after offering just shy of £40million for the centre-back.
Now both the Red Devils and the Gunners have received a major boost after reports emerged that the Argentina international has told Ajax he wants to depart for England
Lisandro Martinez bidding war
Manchester United are confident of beating Arsenal to signing Lisandro Martinez after meeting with Ajax chiefs.
United have reportedly tabled a fee just shy of £40m for Martinez.
The Dutch champs’ new director of football Klaas-Jan Huntelaar travelled to London on Saturday to meet with United reps, according to the Mirror.
And after talks with Huntelaar, the Red Devils are said to be confident of beating the Gunners in the race to sign the centre-back.
The Manchester giants have made a bid worth an initial £35.3m, with a further £4.3m available in add-ons.
The total package works out at £39.6m, with the Amsterdam giants reportedly valuing the Argentina international at £43m.
Martinez would rather reunite with former boss Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford than join the Gunners.
According to The Athletic, United have “edged ahead as favourites” to land the 24-year-old for around £35m
Arsenal insist on Milinkovic-Savic
Arsenal, though, are still persistent in the transfer pursuit of Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
The Gunners reportedly had a €55million (£47.2m) offer for Milinkovic-Savic rebuffed as the Serie A side wanted more cash.
But the North Londoners are preparing to issue a new and improved bid for the midfielder, according to Il Messaggero.
However, Arsenal are reluctant to depart with the €65m (£55.8m) Lazio president Claudio Lotito is demanding.
Although the Gunners are said to be in constant contact with the Serbia international’s agent Mateja Kezman to try and get a deal done
Arsenal prioritise Tielemans
Arsenal are pressing ahead with plans to sign a new midfielder this summer.
And the Gunners are prioritising Leicester star Youri Tielemans for the role ahead of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to Fabrizio Romano.
That’s because Tielemans will cost the Gunners 40million less than Milinkovic-Savic.
The Belgium international’s contract expires in 2023, which means the Foxes could be open to letting him go on the cheap now.
