Director Andrea Berta is doing well the task of strengthening Arsenal forces with quality contracts. However, he still has the minus point that Arsenal's limitations have not been overcome in “exporting” players.
During the summer transfer window 2024, Arsenal spent a total of £ 187.3 million to buy players. In the opposite direction, the northern representative of London has just collected 10.6 million pounds from liquidating the duo Nuno Tavares and Marquinhos at a flat price.
Notably, Arsenal, although the team is in the “Big Six” team in the Premier League, has not sold any players for £ 40 million. Meanwhile, the remaining representatives in the group of 6 “giants” above are Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and MU do this quite often.
Not to say far, Liverpool has just transferred winger Luis Diaz to Bayern to get back to £ 65.5 million from Gray Lobster. It should be emphasized that at the beginning of 2022, Liverpool “only” bought Diaz from Porto for 37.5 million euros (not to mention 12.5 million tables incurred). Thus, after a few years of using Diaz, the “Red Brigade” has increased its reinforcement for the 28 -year -old Colombian star and earned a large profit.
Back to Arsenal, this team rarely launched the market at high prices, due to the majority of the players who left the Emirates were in a state of downhill and devaluation. It was reported that the two offspringers' offensive stars Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli were on the list of preparation liquidated by coach Mikel Arteta. The problem is that if they have moved to a new stop, Arsenal will be difficult to expect to earn profits.
For example, Trossard is currently valued at £ 20 million, which is £ 7 million lower than the number that Arsenal once paid to Brighton in exchange for him in 2023. Not long ago, this player was cared for by Bayern, but withdrawing the Gray Lobster chose to buy Diaz instead of Trossard.
Arsenal “disillusioned” 40 million pounds because of Oxlade-Chamberlain?
When the midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for Liverpool in 2017, Arsenal had expected to get 40 million pounds from this deal. However, the fact that Liverpool only transferred to Arsenal for £ 35 million. The remaining £ 5 million surcharges did not come to Arsenal, because Oxlade-Chamberlain did not meet a number of conditions agreed by the parties. In Liverpool, Oxlade-Chamberlain was constantly injured and was considered a failed investment of The Kop.
