Arsenal’s quest for a forward could conclude as a leading scorer gets the green light for a high-profile transfer.
Arsenal now has an unobstructed path to secure their ideal striker, amid developments regarding a Serie A luminary’s career prospects.
The club is reportedly in the market for a new striker, as highlighted by David Ornstein of The Athletic, who last month disclosed a list of four potential targets during a Q&A session.
With Eddie Nketiah likely to depart and Gabriel Jesus facing a season marred by injuries, Arsenal’s forward line is in need of reinforcement.
Despite Kai Havertz recently stepping up as a makeshift striker, Arsenal’s interest in a longstanding target may be renewed due to recent reports from Europe.
According to Spanish publication Sport, Inter Milan’s early exit from the Champions League has cast uncertainty over the future of key striker Lautaro Martinez.
Martinez, a World Cup champion, was reportedly in the midst of contract renewal talks, with a clash against Atletico Madrid rumored to serve as a backdrop for negotiations between representatives. However, no deal has been finalized for Martinez to extend his tenure at San Siro, with Sport suggesting such significant setbacks often lead global stars to reconsider their futures.
Last month, Arsenal was identified as an admirer of the Argentine striker, although direct connections between Martinez and the Gunners have been infrequent in recent years, possibly indicating a shift in Mikel Arteta’s transfer priorities.
Martinez’s market value stands at €110 million, according to Transfermarkt.
