Arsenal's Error Reveals Sanchez Is Leaving!

   Arsenal made a huge mistake earlier this day, when they revealed their new kits for fans to pre-order. According to The Telegraph, Danny Welbeck was given #7 before the error was fixed and then switched back his #23.

   This slip fueld speculations about Alexis Sanchez' future with the Gunners next season, amid interest from Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Chelsea.

   The Chilean's plans are still unkown, and he is yet to sign a new contract with Arsenal. Meanwhile, Sanchez was absent from the official unveiling of the puma strip, but it could be due to his sponsorship deal with Nike.

  Arsene Wenger announced last month that neither Alexis Sanchez, nor, Mesut Ozil are leaving this season. But with top clubs roaming around the 28-year-old, he could leave instantly, as Arsenal are out of Champions League, in addition to feeling unappreciated by the club, who refuse to offer a better deal.

   Reports claim that Alexis has made it clear he wants Manchester City switch, after he told Bayern he wants £420,000 a week, knowing that the club has a strict wage structure. And with 1 year left in his contract, City can snatch the forward for £50 million, plus they are able to meet his demands.

  Real Madrid also have shown interest in the player, as they have doubts about their stars futures, like Ronaldo and Bale. But Alexis would prefer a move to The Sky Blues, where he can rejoin Pep Guardiola who helped him during his spell at Barcelona.

Chris Smalling On His Way To Arsenal?

   Few days ago, Manchester United officially announced signing Victor Lindelof from Benfica for £30 million. The defender is set to thrive at the Theatre of Dreams. His arrival will push the England international down the pecking order.

   Acording to The Telegraph, Jose Mourinho is willing to sell the player for around £15 million. The 27-year-old arrived from Fulham for £10 million in 2010, and he succeeded under Louis Van Gaal, winning the United's players' player of the year.

   Arsenal are looking to improve their defence, especially if Arsene Wenger is planning to stick with his 3-4-3. Everton and West Ham are also interested in the center back, but Arsenal seem closer, for they showed interest in the player before his move to Old Traford in 2010, then in 2014 when Van Gaal was open to selling the player.

   The deal seems complicated, because of the history of the two managers, although it looks like they resolved their issues. Moreover, the club prefers not to sell their players to rival teams, that fight for the the title. But Smalling looks persistant on his exit, so he hired a new agent this week, although he declared once that he'll fight for his place under Jose Mourinho, when the latter criticized him in front of the media.
 

Barcelona Ask Veratti To Force His Way Out!

   New Barcelona coach, Ernesto Valverde, who was appointed last month hopes to leave his mark by signing new players to bolster the squad. Reports say that Marco Verratti is from the club's priorities.

   According to The Sun, Verratti wants to move away from PSG, but the club isn't willing to sell the player, whose contract ends in 2021. Barcelona could also face financial complications, for Juventus and Chelsea are also interested in the star, and are ready to pay £55 million. Reports in Spain indicate that entering a bidding war isn't a choice for Barca who "are aware of the economic limitations" they face in the transfer market. The club may be one of the richest clubs in the world, but at the same time its the highest-wage-paying club.

   Verratti, who once declared he's happy at Parc de Princes, is now desperate to take his career to next level and win more trophies. And Barcelona happens to be the right place for such dreams. Meanwhile, the Catalans are having hard time replacing Xavi, and soon enough aging Iniesta,33. This means the Italian will be the perfect fit in the Blaugrana's suffering midfield, and could be the solution for their problems.

   The 24-year-old's desire is Camp Nou, deducing from Blaise Matuidi's question to Iniesta if Verratti is his successor, during the famous UCL game which ended 4-0 in favour of the Parisians. Iniesta gave Matuidi a positive answer! Therefore, if Verratti really wants Barca switch, he should force his way out, by informing the board of directors of his wishes, so that the Catalans can start negotiating, lowering the price. Chelsea's interest in Monaco's Bakayoko, could open the doors for Nemanja Matic to leave for Juventus who are interested in signing the Serbian, thus the battle for Verratti won't be fierce, and Barca would land him easily.

   Barcelona used this strategy before with Cesc Fabregas, who ended his transfer saga by joining his former local club. Arsenal refused to sell back then, but Fabregas revealed his desire to leave the club, so the deal took place eventually. Reports also claim that the Spanish giants will repeat the same scenario with Hector Bellerin.

   

Done deal!

Arsenal sign Schalke full-back Sead Kolasinac

   Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Schalke left-back Sead Kolasinac on a free transfer. The 23-year-old charmed europe's top clubs into signing him. Chelsea tried to sign him first but their bid was rejected back in January. Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton, Juventus, and AC Milan were keen on the defender. But when Arsene Wenger joined the race to sign the Bosnia and Herzegovina international in April, he made it hard for other teams to compete. Wenger was monitoring the starlet for quite some time before getting into business with him.

   

   Kolainac is a versatile player. He plays in different positions on the field. He started his career as a center back, and a defensive midfielder. But his talent was employed in other places on the left side of the pitch, and soon became a leftback. 

   Wenger has moved to strengthen at left-back after using Nacho Monreal and Kieran Gibbs there this season. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was even deployed to great effect at wing-back in the FA Cup final win over Chelsea. And Kolasinac offers a strong option in the position if Wenger decides to retain the 3-4-3 next season especially when Gibbs departs to newly promoted Newcastle United for €17 million as indicated by The Sun. In other news Daily Express claims the new arrival is now one of the top earners in the North London club.

  Arsenal seem to be going all in this season, after the club has allotted £100 million for transfers, and Arsene's declarations that Sanchez and Ozil are not going anywhere, in addition to the tremendous Mbappe bid, and now Kolasinac's wage!

Juve sign Arsenal's Wojciech Szczęsny!

Wojciech Szczęsny spent the last 2 years on loan in Roma FC. The keeper was out-of-favour at Arsenal and had to fight for his place in the starting XI with David Ospina , so he preferred a move to Roma to be #1 instead. He had a first good season so Roma decided to extend his loan.

Now after he finished his loan spell, Juventus made an offer to get the 27-year-old  from the Gunners and prepare him to be heir to their legend Gianluigi Buffon, who is set to retire next year, at age 40 after 18 years at the club.

According to Sky Sports the Bianconeri sealed the deal for 16 million euros for 4 years, earning 4 million euros a year.

The Polish is a good keeper, but a team like Juventus must aim bigger. Would he be able to cover the gap that Gigi leaves? I guess not. There are many better keepers out there, like Buffon's namesake Gianluigi Donnarumma. The latter is still young and able to improve more over the years. I mean he's excellent right now! Anyway, it is a good signing for the club. And who knows, he could become Juve's next legend!

Monaco reject Arsenal's 100 million euros for Kylian Mbappe!

After an incredible season at Monaco, Kylian Mbappe caught the eyes of big clubs. There were many rumors linking the 18-year old with a move to one of the Spanish giants Real Madrid or Barcelona. Then rich English clubs  were linked with the forward such as the 2 Manchester clubs and Chelsea, and PSG showed interest in the Frenchman. But then Arsenal surprised us all by bidding 100 million euros to get the player's signature, and more surprisingly, Monaco rejected the offer!
Mbappe netted 26 goals this season, and provided 8 assists helping Monaco win League 1, and qualifying to UCL semi-final where they lost twice against Juventus. This young starlet is said to be one of the best talents and expected to be one of the best players one day, and the French champions are trying to keep him in the club for at least one more season. Mbappe still has 2 years in his contract, and he said that he doesn't want to play less which may be a relief for his club, but he also said that he's not afraid to leave! And there are still rumors that Real Madrid could blast a 120 million euros deal to snap the ace. There is a factor that could facilitate this mega money deal: Kylian is a huge fan of Real Madrid, Ronaldo, and Zidane. We'll see about that in the coming couple of days.

Who will close the deal?

Arsenal

Official: Arsene Wenger just penned a new 2-year deal with Arsenal FC.
Although Arsenal didn't qualify to champions league for the first time in 2 decades,Wenger managed to beat league winners Chelsea FC for FA cup title and made history (13 FA cup titles for Arsenal,7 of which won in his reign) which gave him some credit despite the fans proetsting against him. Arsenal's season took a U-turn after humiliating UCL loss to bundesliga giants Bayern Munchen.They were fighting for the top spot in the premier league,then everything went wrong. The players' form dropped especially the german playmaker Mesut Ozil who was the goatscape for the deteriorating results at first, then fans got mad about the spaniard Hector Bellerin , and then it was Arsene. I don't think that the frenchman is the one to blame. His squad failed him sometimes, but then  you think! A club as big as Arsenal should have a better one. There it is! It is the strategy of the team that favors profit over titles. They don't want to spend big on world class players, even they didn't want to offer Alexis Sanchez a new deal eventhough he was the only fighter on the pitch and deserved to be appreciated for his hardwork. And for real, if it weren't for Sanchez , this season would've been an absolute disaster. Sanchez and Ozil are set to leave the club, but reports say that  a 30million euro deal was put on the table for the duo, but still, Sanchez is linked to Bayern Munchen with a 50mil euros fee, which explains Arsenal's interest in Riyad Mahrez Leicester City's ace. Arsenal are set to spend 100 million euros in the upcoming transfer window.
