Juventus eye swap deal for £30m + attacker for Arsenal midfielder, Arteta weighs up £35m striker ‘assault’
Young Arsenal player Charlie Patino is gaining attention from teams across Europe. Despite Arsenal’s recent setback with a 2-0 loss to West Ham, they could have moved up to first place in the Premier League.
However, concerns about their goal-scoring ability persist, with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah’s performances under scrutiny.
To strengthen their squad in January, Arsenal might need to sell players, and Charlie Patino’s potential departure could support this strategy. Patino, who impressed during a loan spell at Blackpool and is currently showcasing his skills at Swansea, has caught the eye of Juventus and AC Milan.
Agent Michele Fratini praised Patino’s versatility and quality, suggesting he could thrive at a higher level. Fratini revealed the interest of Serie A giants Juventus in the young talent, emphasizing Patino’s significance in Arsenal’s youth ranks.
Reports indicate that Arsenal is demanding no less than €20 million for Patino. Juventus, in their pursuit, might consider including Moise Kean in the deal.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is eyeing Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic to alleviate their scoring concerns. However, negotiations with Juventus might be challenging due to the high valuation of €60 million for Vlahovic.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta views Vlahovic as a valuable addition to the team’s attacking lineup, but the discrepancy in valuation could be a hurdle.
Arsenal seems unwilling to exceed €40 million for the Serbian striker, setting the stage for complex negotiations in the upcoming transfer window.
