Barcelona’s manager, Xavi, has acknowledged that the team is serious about bringing TWO players from Arsenal to Barcelona and is willing to pay a “huge offer.” The two Arsenal players “really suit Barcelona style, and we are ready to pay their price,” stated Xavi, who has closely observed them thus far this season. We are prepared to cover their cost.
Barcelona apparently expressed interest in hiring the services of two players, according to the Spanish sports weekly Mundo Deportivo.
Despite the reports, it seems that both players will continue to be involved in the North London club’s plans.
Jorginho, an Italian international, has seen his playing time at Arsenal decline this season as a direct result of the club’s acquisition of Declan Rice.
However, he and his agent have made it clear that at this time, a transfer that would remove him from the Emirates Stadium is not an option. Although Arsenal has the option to do so, his current contract is slated to expire in 2024.
In the meantime, Kai Havertz has had a difficult start at his new residence in North London after being traded from Chelsea to Arsenal in a highly publicized deal.
Whatever the situation, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confidence in the German playmaker. Arteta recently said during a press conference that he plans to “try to help him as much as possible.”
Make sure he always gets your support and that he has the time, space, and resources necessary to demonstrate his skills.
Even if there are many aspects of his game where he thrives, we are aware of the areas in which he can do better.
Arteta continued, “But, as always, with any athlete, it’s about giving support. It has to do with working as a team. “Especially when you see a player do what he does every day and the way he tries and applies himself,” the coach stated. “Especially when you see a player perform what he does every day.”
“If they don’t perform, it’s our fault. You give them more tools and support.” It’s our fault if they don’t deliver, they say.
The top teams in La Liga are apparently considering their options ahead of the forthcoming January transfer window and have supposedly identified two Arsenal players as potential additions. A newspaper in Spain reported the report.
Barcelona’s strategy is based on the assumption that the transfer market will offer additional choices in January, similar to how the club was able to get Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix on loan over the summer.
Jorginho and Havertz suit the profile of players who might fall into this category, according to them, and players who were once “star signings” may become available for a reduced price.
Jorginho was acquired by Arsenal for €11.3 million from Chelsea, although his current market value is barely €25 million. When he joined Arsenal, Havertz was valued at €75 million, but his current market value is only €55 million.
