Your latest Arsenal transfer rumours on Wednesday, April 15.
Gunners concerns over move for Bundesliga defender
Arsenal’s pursuit of Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah could be at risk due to the current shutdown.
Sport Bild via Sport Witness claim the club are ‘very interested’ in the French centre half but may need to rethink their strategy over any potential move.
The player’s £35 million release clause is due to expire on May 31st meaning they would have to move quickly to secure his signature.
However, the report suggests this clause could be ‘worthless’ given football’s current hiatus, meaning the Gunners may have to wait til next season to make a move when it becomes applicable again.
Arsenal to be ‘offered’ ex-Liverpool star
Arsenal are among a number of clubs who are set to be offered the chance to sign Barcelona’s Philippe Coutinho.
The Catalan club’s desire to rid themselves of the Brazilian midfielder is no secret and The Sun report the club are willing to allow him to leave on loan or sell for around £75 million.
Coutinho, who joined Barcelona from Liverpool for £140 million in 2018, has been on loan at Bayern Munich this season but the German giants have opted not to make the move permanent.
Gunners position regarding Partey move
Arsenal are said to be interested in bringing Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey to the Emirates.
However, despite reports from Corriere dello Sport via Sport Witness suggesting the Gunners are set to put €50 million ‘on the table’ for the player, the club’s finances paint a very different picture.
Mirror Football’s Alex Richards takes a deep dive into the London club’s finances to determine whether a move for the Ghanaian international is likely for Mikel Arteta and his team.
