BID ACCEPTED: Arsenal’s £90million bid for outstanding player has been accepted after the superstar agreed five-years contract to join the Gunners
Arsenalare pushing hard on the market with many important movements. After signing Martin Zubimendi and Kepa, the negotiations continue for Christian Mosquera as new centre back while Viktor Gyokeres is also getting closer after new round of talks with Sporting… but don’t forget about Noni Madueke, another negotiation underway.
Arsenal Agree Five-Year Deal for Noni Madueke
He’s open to joining from Chelsea
Madueke can leave Chelsea this summer after the club rejected an approach from Newcastle in January, the story can be over with Noni open to making a move to Arsenal… and the discussion ended up developing quickly. Yes, because Arsenal have been able to reach an agreement with Madueke on personal terms while the player was busy with FIFA Club World Cup in the US.
Direct meetings took place in England and Madueke’s camp has agreed on every detail with Arsenal; sources confirm his contract will be valid for five years, while Madueke will maintain same salary structure as he has now at Chelsea if the deal will happen. The player is understood to be interested in Arsenal’s vision, project and Mikel Arteta has also approved his signing.
Arsenal to Send Official Bid for Madueke
They want him alongside Eze
What’s next now? Arsenal are prepared to send an official bid to Chelsea very soon, with club-to-club talks due to start. Sources on both sides speak of different valuation for Madueke, but conversations between them in a good relationship after Kepa deal (and more in the past…) can help to try reach a compromise and get the deal done this summer also for Madueke, who has been described as ‘elite’ by analyst Invert The Wing.
For sure, the player’s open to this opportunity and Arsenal want to explore this option with official talks starting soon. It’s also important to add that this deal is separate from anything happening with Eberechi Eze, as Arsenal also spoke to his agents in the recent days and he remains on their shortlist based on final pricing from Crystal Palace.
