Arsenal Gunners News

“I’ve watched the two Arsenal players very well so far this season and they really suit Barcelona style, we are ready to pay their price”- Barcelona Manager Xavi confirms Barca are seriously interested and are ready to offer a ‘huge offer’ for TWO Arsenal brilliant stars.

Barcelona is reportedly eager to bolster its squad with two players, according to Spanish sports daily Mundo Deportivo. Despite the speculation, both players remain firmly in the plans of the North London club.

Jorginho, the Italian international, has seen reduced playing time at Arsenal this season following the arrival of Declan Rice. However, Jorginho and his agent have emphasized their commitment to staying at the Emirates Stadium. His contract extends until 2024, with an option for an additional year.

In contrast, Kai Havertz, who made a high-profile transfer from Chelsea to Arsenal, has encountered challenges adapting to North London. Despite this, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed confidence in the German playmaker during a recent press conference, highlighting his dedication to supporting Havertz’s development.

While both players are crucial to Arsenal, reports from Spain suggest that Barcelona is eyeing them as potential targets for the upcoming January transfer window. Barcelona believes that the market might offer opportunities similar to the past summer when they secured Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo on loan. The Catalan club perceives players like Jorginho and Havertz, once considered ‘star signings,’ as potentially available at a more favorable cost.

Arsenal initially paid €11.3m for Jorginho from Chelsea (valued then at €35m, now €25m) and €75m for Havertz (valued then and now at €55m). Barcelona’s interest stems from the expectation that these players could be accessible at a more favorable cost in the upcoming transfer window.
