Revealed: Eddie Nketiah's summer price tag as Marseille push hard to sign Arsenal striker following Mason Greenwood signing

According to the Daily Mail,the Gunners value their homegrown talent at £30 million ($38m) on the back of a decent season where he scored six goals and provided three assists in 37 appearances across competitions in 2023-24. The two clubs have entered into discussions regarding a possible transfer, but Marseille's current proposal has been deemed insufficient by the north London outfit.

Nketiah has found his opportunities limited under Mikel Arteta's management. Arsenal are open to offloading the player to provide him with an opportunity to further develop his career, potentially in a different league.

While their pursuit of Nketiah continues, Marseille are also keeping an eye on Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira as they look to strengthen further after signing Mason Greenwood from Manchester United. Pereira has caught the attention of several European clubs this summer, with Juventus being one of the notable suitors. However, the Cottagers are keen to retain him.

Apart from the transfer fee, any club interested in Nketiah must also consider his substantial wage demands. Having signed a lucrative five-year contract in the summer of 2022, Nketiah's earnings exceed £100,000 per week. It remains to be seen if Marseille manage to agree personal terms with the player even if they thrash out a deal with Arsenal.
