Arsenal are among several top European clubs vying for the signature of Corinthians‘ promising young midfielder Breno Bidon, according to reports in Brazil. Journalist Jorge Nicola reveals that Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund have all expressed interest in the 19-year-old.

Corinthians are reluctant to set a price tag for their rising star and are keen to see him develop at the club. However, the Brazilian club’s financial situation could force their hand in a potential transfer.

Arsenal may hold an advantage in the race for Bidon thanks to sporting director Edu Gaspar‘s previous role as Corinthians‘ football director. Edu’s established connections and knowledge of the club could give Arsenal a leg up in the pursuit of the youngster.

Bidon‘s limited first-team experience suggests that Arsenal and other interested clubs are intrigued by his potential, based on scouting reports from his performances with the youth teams. With major European clubs circling, Corinthians face a battle to retain their young talent.

While Corinthians hope to further develop Bidon, the financial realities of Brazilian football often dictate player sales. Arsenal, with the help of Edu Gaspar‘s inside knowledge, could emerge as frontrunners for a player who seemingly has a bright future in European football.
