EXCLUSIVE NEWS: coming direct from Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal has announced a stunning triple treat of new signings, including a €30 million star. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the deals are official and will transform the squad. Arsenal Announces ‘Staggering’ Triple ‘Transfer-Treat’ €30m Star Heads to ‘Gunners”.
Arsenal finds themselves deeply entrenched in the battle for the Premier League title; however, according to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, the club is strategically laying the groundwork for the future, having secured three new contracts.
Under the stewardship of Mikel Arteta, consistency and cohesion have become hallmarks of Arsenal’s ethos. Arteta, the Arsenal manager, has diligently worked to secure contract extensions for Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu, emphasizing the importance of stability within the team. These negotiations have been in progress for some time, reflecting the club’s commitment to long-term planning.
The significance of these contract renewals is underscored by the fact that, among the current first-team roster, only Thomas Partey’s contract extends to the summer of 2025. Consequently, Arsenal anticipates a relatively tranquil transfer window, with any departures being orchestrated on terms favorable to the club.
Another significant move in Arsenal’s transfer strategy involves activating the purchase clause for loanee goalkeeper David Raya, who arrived from Brentford last summer on a one-year deal. Arsenal had always intended to secure Raya’s services on a permanent basis, a plan that Romano confirms as “confirmed.” The club will invest €31.5 million (£27m) to secure Raya’s future, a decision vindicated by his crucial contributions, notably during Arsenal’s progression to the Champions League quarter-finals, where he made pivotal saves in a penalty shootout against Porto. Raya’s impact extends beyond that memorable night, as he has featured in 29 matches for Arsenal, tallying an impressive 13 clean sheets while conceding only 23 goals. Despite his admirable performance, Raya’s Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) stands at €24.8m, falling short of Aaron Ramsdale’s €30m valuation.
Meanwhile, Arsenal appears poised to part ways with English goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, whose contract runs until June 2026. The club has been linked with MLS goalkeeper Patrick Schulte of Columbus Crew, signaling their intent to explore alternative goalkeeping options.
