Arsenal could reportedly sign their January transfer target for a lower fee in the January transfer window. Shakhtar Donetsk are demanding 100 million for their star winger.
However, there is a possibility that Gunners can complete it for less than the demanded fee. Another advantage is that the Ukrainian winger is trying his best to get a January transfer move.
THE TRANSFER OF MYKHAYLO MUDRYK IS GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER
According to reports, Arsenal hopes to sign Mykhaylo Mudryk for a lower fee in the January transfer window. The report also claims that Shakhtar Donetsk wants a fee close to 100 million for their star winger. A number of board members of the Ukrainian club have also made the point that he has better abilities than Jack Grealish. Manchester City paid 100 million to Aston Villa for Jack. However, the report also claims that the Gunners can complete the signing for a much lower fee.
Transfer expert Ben Jacobs has said that Arsenal can complete the signing in the region of a 60million-65million. He further said,
“They’ve never had a history of paying above the odds and they’ve never had a history of panic buying, so it’s now about whether they can agree a fee with Shakhtar.“
“Sources are saying privately that fee will be €60-65million if Arsenal get their way at the top end. Arsenal’s starting point will be even lower than that as well and the way forward, as ever with these kinds of deals, will be around the structure.“
However, he has said that the deal will include easily achievable add-ons to sweeten the deal.
ARSENAL WILL HOPE TO USE THE REST OF THE BUDGET TO INCREASE THE DEPTH OF THEIR SQUAD
Arsenal fans will hope that the update of the fee of Mykhaylo Mudryk is less. It is because the club can focus on their midfielder and attacker signings. Hence, signing three players will increase their squad depth in the second half of the window. The Gunners also have Emile Smith Rowe coming back from his long-term injury. Reiss Nelson is also hoping to get a new contract extension with the Gunners through his brilliant performances.
Hence, Mikel Arteta has the options in the squad to overcome the Gabriel Jesus injury. However, at the moment, the priority is to win the boxing day game against West Ham. A win against the Hammers will help them strengthen their league position at the top. However, Arsenal will then turn their attention to the January transfer window. They will also hope to extend the contracts of their important young players in the squad. They are currently in discussions with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and William Saliba.
So, for Arsenal signing Mykhaylo Mudryk will be the cherry on the cake in the January transfer window. However, for the winger, the move is a dream move. He has praised Mikel Arteta and his tactics. Hence, it is clear that he is a big fan of the Gunners. The report also claims that Mykhaylo Mudryk has agreed on personal terms with the Premier League giants.
