Mercato – Mercato: Arsenal’s crazy bet, no to Coutinho, yes to Willian

There will be sport at Arsenal this summer, and that is without even mentioning the incredible plan for the departure of 55 members of the club in order to save money after the health and financial crisis of Covid-19.

If the scouts department is very affected by these measures with all the officials who will take the door, the recruitment yet promises to be ambitious. Arsenal have reached an agreement with Gabriel, and will be able to bring in Lille central-defender when everything is finalized with LOSC. At the offensive level, it’s gone a little in all directions in recent hours, but the final choice of Mikel Arteta fell on Willian. The winger will do as Olivier Giroud and leave neighbor Chelsea to join Arsenal, where a three-year contract awaits him.

According to Daily Mirror, the Gunners have done everything to finalize this deal, to the point of giving up bringing Philippe Coutinho, that FC Barcelona offered in a loan paying for the whole season, in order to get rid of his bulky salary. Arsenal therefore refused the former Liverpool to focus on the Brazilian Chelsea, and thus ensure a significant rookie. All this in order to convince Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to stay in London this summer, and thus try to put together the strongest team possible to find a place close to the top.
