🚨🤯 ARSENAL BOOM FOR JANUARY! OSIMHEN DEAL, BLANC FOR UNITED…

Thomas Partey already not available because of an injury. Arsenal wanted to clarify the situation and the recovery process. Hey guys, welcome back on the channel, Fabrizio Romano here, as always, to keep you posted on the transfer market. Today, updates about Arsenal, also looking at the January transfer window, something to clarify about Viktor Osman and his situation for the future, also something about Manchester United. Let's jump into it together. And so, guys, it's a big day for Atletico Madrid. We start from there because there is the official contract signed by Diego Simeone, arrived in December 2011, and now signing a new deal till June 2027. So, never-ending love story between Diego Simeone, El Cholo and Atletico Madrid. The contract is completed till June 2027. And so, congratulations and congratulations to Simeone, who is staying at Atletico Madrid with an important contract and keep building the future for the Colchoneros. But also, in terms of future, keep an eye on Manchester United in the next days and weeks. As you know, guys, they are working on the formal side to complete the 25% minority stake takeover to Sergium Ratcliffe and Ninos Grup. We already mentioned some names of the potential change into the club in the recent days and weeks because the idea of Sergium Ratcliffe is to change something at the level of the board. Nothing happening around the manager, around Eriker Haag. But for the board, some changes could be in place in the next weeks. And the name to watch, already mentioned by many colleagues in England, and we can confirm that it's a possibility for him to join Manchester United, is Jean-Claude Blanc, the former director at Paris Saint-Germain, at Juventus in the past. A lot of experience, really appreciated by people at Ineos, as they know, obviously, him very well. He could be one of the options to enter into Manchester United board and start this process to change things at Manchester United. Also, not an easy day at Arsenal, guys, because new examination took place for Thomas Partey, already not available because of an injury. Arsenal wanted to clarify the situation and the recovery process for Thomas Partey, but there are negative news in this case for Thomas Partey, because the feeling into Arsenal after new medical examination is for Thomas to be unavailable till the end of the current year, so end of December, end of 2023, at least till the end of December. This is the feeling at the current stage. Obviously, Arsenal will keep an eye on the situation of Thomas on a daily basis at the ground, but at the same time, they feel that the situation could be complicated. So, injury, serious injury for Thomas Partey, and also in January, they will decide in the next month what he will do, but there is obviously the chance for him to go to the Africa Cup, to the AFCON with Ghana national team, so this is another point to be clarified. That's why Arsenal feel a bit in alert in terms of midfielders, and from what I'm hearing, they are really exploring the midfielders market. It's not an easy one, because for financial play for Arsenal to find a good opportunity and also good terms is not easy in the January window, but there are some players they appreciate. A lot of rumors about Zubimendi. It's true that people at Arsenal really like Zubimendi and believe that he could be perfect, especially Mikel Arteta really appreciates him, but from what I'm hearing, the player is very happy with Real Sociedad. He's not thinking about changing at the moment, and he's very happy about the opportunity to play in the round of 16 of the Champions League with Real Sociedad. So, at the moment, for Zubimendi, it's not something that easy, and also, the cost could be really important, around 60 million, the release close. But also, the top name, from what I'm hearing, on Arsenal list is Douglas Luiz. The player was already on the list two years ago. Edu and other people at the club really appreciate him. Douglas Luiz is considered the perfect midfielder by people at Arsenal, so they would love to sign him and to return on Douglas Luiz. But what we can say is also that we have to respect Aston Villa. They have an ambitious project, and they consider Douglas as a crucial player for this project. So, only a crazy, important, huge proposal could be considered for Douglas Luiz in January. This is why, if Arsenal want to go for their top target, Douglas Luiz, they need to invest a lot of money, and we know the financial foreplay is a topic. So, let's see what's going to happen there, but for sure, Arsenal are looking into the midfielder market with Douglas Luiz top of the list. Sublime, they really appreciate it, but not easy. Let's see if they will add some other name to their list. In terms of list, we know that many clubs have in their list Victor Rosimann, important striker, top striker. At the moment, he's injured, but back in Napoli after spending some time in Nigeria. And from what I'm hearing, guys, at the moment, we are at the beginning of November, still no agreement between Napoli and Victor Rosimann. We had new rumors in the recent weeks, but no, there is no agreement between Napoli and Victor Rosimann to extend the contract. At the moment, it's still far from being done, and so the feeling for Rosimann to leave in 2024, summer transfer window more than January transfer window for January, it looks really difficult, unlikely. Napoli want to keep the player at least until the end of the season, so keep an eye on the summer transfer window for January. It's going to be difficult, but for sure, the Rosimann situation at the moment, not extending the contract at Napoli, means that he's going to be one to watch in the next weeks. And so, guys, let me know your thoughts on all these stories. Who is the right midfielder for Arsenal? I want your opinion, guys, in the comments. Also, Rosimann, Blanc for Manchester United, I wait for your opinion. Here, as always, like this video, turn on the notification bell, subscribe to the channel. See you soon with Fabrizio. Ciao!
