Arsenal is reportedly interested in signing Girona defender Miguel Gutierrez, who joined the Spanish club from Real Madrid for approximately €4 million in the summer of 2022.
Arsenal FC is making waves with its reported interest in Girona’s talented defender, Miguel Gutierrez. Since his €4 million move from Real Madrid in the summer of 2022, the 22-year-old has made quite an impact, establishing himself as a mainstay in the Spanish club’s defense and catching the eye of the North London giants.
Rumors circulating particularly Fichajes suggest that Arsenal is keen to bolster its left-back options. At present, Oleksandr Zinchenko stands as the sole left-back in their squad, necessitating reinforcements for manager Mikel Arteta.
Miguel Gutierrez, a La Liga talent with a contract extending until the summer of 2027, won’t come cheap. Girona, armed with his long-term commitment, could demand a premium for their prized asset.
Arsenal, a club known for its financial muscle, is well-equipped to meet Girona’s potential demands. Gutierrez, on the other hand, might be enticed by the prospect of joining a club with an ambitious project. Arsenal secured Champions League qualification last season and remained in the title race, demonstrating their competitive edge. Their strong start to the current campaign further underscores their championship aspirations.
For Gutierrez, this move would signify a significant step up in his career. Valued at around €20 million in the market, his acquisition should be well within Arsenal’s financial reach. The question that lingers is whether the Gunners will pull the trigger on this deal during the upcoming January transfer window.
