‘I tried my possible best to lure Him to Man city but He still choose Arsenal over us’: Man city Star Kelvin De Bruyne confirmed His £70m international teammate is set to join Arsenal this week after reaching verbal agreement with them
Arsenal is getting ready to pay a big amount, at least £60 million, to bring Everton midfielder Amadou Onana to their team in the upcoming January transfer window.
Onana joined Everton from Lille in June 2022 for around £33 million and has become an important player under manager Sean Dyche, playing in 56 games and contributing three goals and three assists since then.
Even though Onana’s contract with Everton is supposed to last until June 2027, there are rumors about him possibly moving to another European club.
Manchester United is said to be keeping a close eye on his situation, fueled by talk that Everton might have to sell key players to follow Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
Recent reports suggest that Arsenal is very interested in Onana, and talks have started with Everton for a January transfer deal. However, Everton is asking for a high price of £60 million, and they don’t seem eager to let him go this month.
Despite Everton facing difficulties this season, including a 10-point deduction from the Premier League in November, Onana continues to be an important part of Dyche’s team. It’s interesting to note that Everton’s previous highest sale was Romelu Lukaku for £75 million to Manchester United in 2017.
The big question is whether Arsenal, having already spent over £200 million in the previous summer on players like Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber, is willing to invest significantly again.
Onana is seen as a potential midfield option for Arsenal, especially with uncertainties about the futures of players like Mohamed Elneny, Thomas Partey, Jorginho, and Emile Smith Rowe.
