Arsenal Transfer News: Victor Osimhen Decision Made as Real Madrid Eyes William Saliba

Arsenal is gearing up for a busy summer transfer window, with significant moves expected to bolster the squad. Amidst various links, the Gunners are focusing on key targets like Victor Osimhen and Riccardo Calafiori, while defender William Saliba is attracting interest from top European clubs.

Arsenal’s Summer Transfer Strategy

Following a substantial investment last year to close the gap with Premier League rivals Manchester City, Arsenal finds itself in a similar position this season. The Gunners have already been linked with several high-profile players as they prepare for the new campaign.

Arsenal Moves on from Osimhen

Arsenal has reportedly decided to move on from pursuing Napoli’s Victor Osimhen. Despite previous links to the Nigerian striker, the Gunners are now targeting alternatives. According to Corriere dello Sport via Football Italia, Arsenal is eyeing Sporting Lisbon’s Victor Gyokeres. The Swedish forward's potential wage demands are considered more manageable, although securing his services would still require a €100m investment.

Real Madrid Interested in William Saliba

While Arsenal focuses on strengthening their attack, they may need to address their defense as well. William Saliba has caught the attention of several top clubs, with Real Madrid reportedly considering him as a replacement for their outgoing captain, Nacho Fernandez. According to Mundo Deportivo, PSG is also in the running should Saliba decide to leave the Emirates. The 23-year-old defender has three years remaining on his contract with Arsenal.

Bologna’s Calafiori Update

Bologna’s technical director, Giovanni Sartori, has acknowledged the possibility of selling star defender Riccardo Calafiori this summer if the right offer comes in. Speaking to Sky Sports Italia, Sartori stated, "There is talk of Juventus but also of many other teams. We will try to keep him, but if important offers arrive, we will have to consider them."
