One Arsenal target could end up joining Bayern Munich this summer.
Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar are hard at work as they look to find solutions to the problems in their squad. The Gunners need reinforcements to pip Manchester City to the Premier League title.
Midfield is expected to be the priority for Arsenal in this transfer window, and they have been linked with plenty of players to fill the void in the middle of the park.
One of them is attracting interest from Bayern Munich, and there is an update on that now.
Arsenal target Amadou Onana’s stance on Bayern Munich move
Amadou Onana has been on Arsenal’s radar for a long time.
The midfielder, who joined Everton from Lille in the summer of 2022, is expected to leave the Toffees in this summer’s transfer window.
Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move to sign Onana, and there have been rumours that he could be available for a bargain fee due to Everton’s problems with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules.
Reports have claimed that Arsenal can sign Onana for just £30 million, which would make a move to sign him an absolute no-brainer for Arteta and Edu.
Arsenal have even been described as the favourites for the Belgian midfielder’s signature.
However, reports claimed this week that Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich could make a move to sign Onana if they fail in their bid to land Joao Palhinho from Fulham.
Now, the Liverpool Echo have shared a very interesting detail.
It has been claimed that both Everton and Onana are ‘open to facilitating a transfer’ to the Allianz Arena in the coming weeks.
If that happens, Arsenal will have to look elsewhere to fill the void in their midfield.
Why Arsenal still have hope in Onana race
Arsenal should not fear Bayern Munich’s interest in Onana.
Yes, the German giants are among the biggest clubs in world football, but recent history shows that they don’t quite have the same pull as they did before.
Just last year, in the summer of 2023, Arsenal and Bayern Munich locked horns to sign Declan Rice, David Raya and also Kai Havertz.
The Bavarians wanted to sign all three of them, but guess who won the race for their signatures?
If Arsenal really want to sign Onana in this summer’s transfer window, we’re convinced that they will be able to beat Bayern Munich to his signature.
