After Arsenal were close to signing Brazilian talent Bitello this summer, Journalist Charles Watts now claims that there’s nothing concrete between both the clubs.
Earlier reports from Brazil suggested that Gremio midfielder Bitello is close to joining Gunners. However, these reports often leads us to conundrum.
While speaking on Inside Arsenal, Journalist Charles Watts claims that the deal is no where to close to happening as some would suggest . He claims that Bitello is currently offered to mid-table clubs and a move to the Emirates is not under current scheme of possibility.
Watt shared what he knows about the current situation :-
“Bitello, I’m sure you’ve seen him linked in the Brazilian press, not so much over here. It’s a tough one, I’ve not had full confirmation. What I do know is he’s a player who has been offered around to Premier League clubs, Gremio are open to selling him and his agents are working to get him a move to the Premier League.
“I haven’t been told that Arsenal are one of the clubs they’ve spoken to. As far as I’m aware the focus on Bitello coming to the Premier League has been more with mid-table teams, that sort of thing. That’s not to say Arsenal are out of the race , but as far as I’m aware, at the moment I don’t think it’s anywhere near as concrete as the reports in Brazil suggest.”
Transfer windows nowadays are all about reports, counter-reports, fiction and facts. And as this situation stands, Bitello’s move to Arsenal was nothing more than a rumour that went “wild”.
