Saudi sends offers to Arsenal and PSG superstars. Al-Hilal reportedly made formal offers to capture Thomas Partey of Arsenal and Marco Verratti of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) this summer.
The Saudi Pro League team wants to completely overhaul their team during the current summer transfer window. So far, they have purchased Ruben Neves for more than £47 million and Kalidou Koulibaly for $20 million.
Al-Hilal has reportedly sent official proposals to sign three midfielders this summer, according to reputable writer Rudy Galetti. They have also expressed interest in pulling Sergej Milinkovic-Savic away from Lazio before the upcoming season, in addition to the Arsenal and PSG players.
According to reports, Al-Hilal is anticipating a reaction from each of the three teams. But every club is willing to sell the stars, on the other hand.
Partey, 30, has surfaced as a possible selling candidate as Arsenal is currently rebuilding their midfield. He has two years left on his contract.
Partey has made 99 appearances since joining the Gunners for £45 million in 2020 from Atletico Madrid. During that time, he scored five goals and provided four assists.
Verratti, meantime, has been the subject of intense rumor since the conclusion of the 2022–23 season. He has been widely reported to be unsatisfied in Paris ever since last month when he was subjected to verbal abuse by his club’s supporters.
The 30-year-old has played 461 games for PSG thus far, scoring 11 goals and dishing out 61 assists. A remarkable 30 trophies have been lifted by him for them.
On the other hand, since moving to Lazio from KRC Genk for more than £10 million in 2015, Milinkovic-Savic has been a star player who cannot be replaced. He has made 341 appearances and has assisted them in lifting three titles so far.
Rio Ferdinand responds to rumors linking Arsenal to a PSG superstar in a lighthearted manner:
The PSG star Kylian Mbappe announced last month that he will not extend his current contract past 2024. As a result, he has become the subject of rumors, with Real Madrid emerging as the most likely candidate.
But according to a recent rumor from Football Transfers, Arsenal plans to make a move for the 2018 FIFA World Cup champion next summer.
The former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand took a go at the Gunners following reports of Mbappe’s interest on his YouTube channel FIVE, saying: “You man can’t even get him! Arsenal is also unable to capture him. Don’t even begin to daydream or think. However, it’s a good dream.”
The PSG attacker can turn out to be a great addition for them if he joins Mikel Arteta’s team. He would demote Gabriel Jesus to the bench and develop a friendship with Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka.
