Juventus eye Arsenal midfielder as Xhaka “long battle” emerges | OneFootball

Juventus are reportedly circling midfielder Jorginho, new details emerge about Granit Xhaka’s exit, and the Gunners are locked in a transfer battle with rivals Manchester City for a rising Serie A star.

Jorginho’s future uncertain

Italian giants Juventus are reportedly keeping a close eye on midfielder Jorginho‘s contract situation at Arsenal. With his deal expiring this summer (though Arsenal hold a one-year extension option), a move back to Serie A could materialise.

Juventus are said to be “obsessed” with the experienced midfielder, but will Arsenal let him go?

Bayer Leverkusen‘s sporting director, Simon Rolfes, has shed light on the negotiations that led to Granit Xhaka‘s transfer. Rolfes reveals Arsenal’s strong reluctance to sell their key midfielder, making the deal a “long battle.”

This highlights Xhaka’s value to the Gunners at the time, even though he ultimately moved to the Bundesliga.

Battle for Kayode heats up

Arsenal and rivals Manchester City are reportedly locked in a transfer tussle for a rising Italian starlet. Both Premier League powerhouses are reportedly eager to sign Fiorentina‘s exciting 19-year-old Michael Kayode.

The versatile forward’s impressive performances, including goals and assists, have caught the attention of Europe’s elite.

With Kayode’s contract secure until 2028, it might take a hefty fee to pry him away from Florence.
