AEZ Zakakiou Overview

Pain and Hope

Arsenal are expected to see movement on the striker front this summer, with Jeremie Aliadiere admitting to GOAL that it is “not a secret” that Gabriel Jesus is likely to depart. If the Brazil international is offloaded, then funds and squad space will be freed up for reinforcements. The Gunners continue to be heavily linked with Argentine forward Julian Alvarez.

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has firmly responded to Barcelona counterpart Joan Laporta regarding the unfolding transfer saga surrounding Julian Alvarez. The forward publicly requested a summer departure during the World Cup, prompting the Catalan giants to launch a time-sensitive offer that has heightened tensions between the clubs.

Mason Greenwood has officially completed a move to Turkish giants Fenerbahce, but the transfer has been preceded by a bitter fallout with Atletico Madrid. The Spanish side reportedly felt 'disrespected' by the former Marseille forward after he went silent during negotiations with Diego Simeone.
