“I want to play champions league”: 13-goals star Player breaks silence on Arsenal transfer with striker stunned by £55 million Gunners interest He wants Arsenal.

Arsenal’s pursuit of Borja Mayoral has taken an intriguing turn, marked by the player addressing the Gunners’ interest. Recent reports revealed Arsenal’s bid of £22 million for the Getafe striker, who has enjoyed a stellar season in LaLiga, scoring 12 goals and ranking among the top scorers alongside Jude Bellingham.
Mayoral, a former Real Madrid academy player, has been on Arsenal’s radar since November, notably due to his impressive partnership with Mason Greenwood at Getafe. Mikel Arteta aims to strengthen his attacking options, and Mayoral has emerged as a prime target, especially after the club ruled out acquiring Ivan Toney from Brentford.
Despite Arsenal’s substantial offer, Getafe rejected the initial bid, insisting on £39 million for their star player. Mayoral has broken his silence on the transfer speculation, expressing surprise at the interest from England. He emphasized his current focus on Getafe, stating, “This is news that surprised me too. I have not spoken to the club or my agent. Every day I am very focused on Getafe,” in an interview with Mediaset.
The 26-year-old forward, who made a permanent move to Getafe in 2022 after an initial loan period, remains committed to his current team. Despite Arsenal’s pursuit, Mayoral’s loyalty to Getafe is evident as he downplays the transfer rumors.
Arsenal faces competition for Mayoral’s signature, with Brentford and Fulham also expressing interest. However, the Gunners seem determined, having offered a substantial amount to outbid their rivals. The striker’s partnership with Greenwood, currently on loan at Manchester United, has further increased his appeal to potential suitors.
As the transfer saga unfolds, Getafe’s insistence on a higher transfer fee adds an intriguing dimension to Arsenal’s pursuit of Mayoral. The player’s reluctance to engage in talks about a potential move highlights the uncertainty surrounding his future, making this transfer saga one to watch in the upcoming weeks.
