Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke has revealed plans to offload four players, including Emile Smith Rowe, Thomas Partey, Aaron Ramsdale, and Eddie Nketiah, to secure funds for the potential transfer of Kylian Mbappe, who is reportedly no longer pursued by Real Madrid due to financial concerns. The Gunners aim to raise money for the ambitious move by selling these players, with Brentford striker Ivan Toney being a potential target. Toney, valued at $122 million by Brentford, has expressed his allegiance to Liverpool, adding an intriguing twist to the transfer speculation.
Despite Arsenal’s apparent willingness to part ways with key players, Liverpool.com questions the feasibility of such a strategy, citing the extensive effort required to sell four players to finance the acquisition of one. Additionally, concerns are raised about the hefty valuation of Toney, especially considering his ongoing suspension.
Switching gears to Liverpool, the report highlights the team’s upcoming Europa League clash with Toulouse and potential qualification for the next stage. Jürgen Klopp faces injury challenges with Virgil van Dijk, Curtis Jones, and Ryan Gravenberch unavailable for various reasons. The focus is on maintaining momentum for key fixtures, including a showdown with Manchester City on November 25.
The article also touches on Real Madrid’s reported decision to abandon their pursuit of Kylian Mbappe due to financial considerations. Despite this development, Liverpool.com expresses skepticism about Liverpool’s chances of signing the French superstar, citing concerns over his exorbitant wages and signing-on fees. The report suggests that, despite Madrid’s apparent withdrawal, the pool of potential suitors for Mbappe remains limited, with Real Madrid still being considered the most likely destination.
