Scuro, who worked with the Red Bull football group before landing at Monaco in 2023, has built a reputation for unearthing talent and getting good value for money on transfers. He was in charge of Monaco’s big sales and buys, among them Arsenal‘s Folarin Balogun.
Arsenal values Scuro’s scouting expertise and his experience in working within a tight financial box. Edu’s exit creates a massive void, but Arsenal is hopeful that Scuro could bring a different approach in the light of Mikel Arteta’s vision.
Why Arsenal are Keen on Thiago Scuro?
Scuro’s network across South America and Europe has already proved effective in terms of improved recruitment strategy by Monaco and his negotiations in transferring Folarin Balogun from Arsenal to MonacoFootball Today.
Fresh Vision: Arsenal is looking for a manager to work in close proximity with Mikel Arteta to improve the performances in the Premier League and Europe. Scuro has vast experience working with data-driven recruitment and building competitive teams, which makes him an attractive candidate.
Arsenal’s Strategy
Other Contenders: Besides Scuro, Arsenal is said to be also keeping track of Roberto Olabe, a sporting director at Real Sociedad. He, however, will leave his office position at the end of the season. He has merited that Sociedad have been steadily on the rise in La Liga, and he has an ever-searching eye for talents.
The appointment of Scuro would mark a significant shift for Arsenal, signaling their intent to strengthen their recruitment and operational strategies to remain competitive domestically and in Europe. However, negotiations and final decisions remain in progress, and Arsenal are keeping multiple options open.
