These days, it’s a rarity to find highly-rated young talents available on the transfer market, especially as free agents.
This scarcity has thrust Arsenal to the forefront as they lead the pack of potential suitors eyeing a promising talent from La Liga.
According to reputable sources at 90min, the 21-year-old in question is set to become a free agent at the end of the current season. This contractual situation allows him to initiate negotiations with potential new clubs as early as January.
However, complicating matters for his current club, he has not displayed any eagerness to extend his tenure with the San Mamés outfit. Consequently, there is a growing possibility that they may have to consider selling him in the upcoming January transfer window to avoid losing him without compensation.
Unsurprisingly, the young star has garnered significant interest from a host of clubs. Arsenal faces competition from Premier League rivals, including Tottenham, Liverpool, and Aston Villa, the latter of whom made notable attempts to secure his services during the summer transfer window.
Beyond the borders of the English top-flight, continental giants Juventus and Bayern Munich have also expressed interest. Despite the understandable reluctance on the part of his current club to part ways with a player who has progressed admirably through their ranks, it appears that the situation may be slipping out of their control.
