Arsenal’s transfer strategy is in the spotlight, with reports increasing around potential high-profile signings, surprise departures, and complex negotiations.

The Daily Star reports Arsenal‘s interest in Manchester City star Bernardo Silva.

However, a €58 million release clause and the potential need to sell Gabriel Jesus to fund the move complicate matters.

Vlahovic on the outs in Turin?

Tuttosport suggests Juventus might consider selling Dusan Vlahovic, who’s struggled to find his footing.

Arsenal are reportedly interested, but must meet a €60 million asking price and a €12 million annual salary demand.

Bologna‘s Joshua Zirkzee and Bayer Leverkusen‘s Victor Boniface are also said to be on Arsenal‘s shortlist.

Italian media speculate Jorginho might leave Arsenal this summer for a return to Italy, with Juventus and Fiorentina expressing interest. His current estimated transfer value is €8.5 million.

Arsenal are reportedly in talks over offering him a new two-year deal.

After Ajax goalkeeper Diant Ramaj‘s injury derailed a potential move, Arsenal are reportedly pursuing Villarreal‘s Filip Jorgensen as their number two keeper.

This is likely to lead to Aaron Ramsdale‘s departure this summer, with Chelsea and Newcastle United rumoured to be interested.

Mega salary offer for Zirkzee

Sky Italia reports Arsenal are trying to lure Joshua Zirkzee away from Italian suitors with a massive €6 million annual salary.

However, Zirkzee might prefer AC Milan, or Juventus might utilise Bayern Munich‘s €40 million buyback option on Zirkzee and then negotiate with Arsenal.

Zubimendi and Kimmich: Long shots with a glimmer of hope

Martin Zubimendi‘s potential move to Arsenal is slightly more likely now that Xabi Alonso has decided to stay at Bayer Leverkusen.

Zubimendi was previously considered a Bayern Munich target in the event Alonso moved to the German club.

Arsenal have contacted Bayern Munich about Joshua Kimmich, but the German club is firmly rejecting any discussions of a departure for now.
