BREAKING NEWS : Italian sports journalist Fabrizio provides updates on a recent transfer rumour that appears to be happening as we speak. Arsenal agents are in contact with Manchester City’s notable star who has numerous trophies to his name.

Fabrizio Romano recently provided insights into the swirling rumors surrounding Arsenal’s potential pursuit of Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva for a summer transfer.

The Portuguese player has long been at the center of transfer talks, with clubs such as Barcelona and PSG frequently linked to him. Speculations suggest that these clubs will continue their pursuit of Silva once the current season concludes.

In contrast to the overseas interest, Arsenal has a history of engaging in transfer dealings with Premier League counterparts like Manchester City.

Notable players such as Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko have previously made direct switches from Etihad to Arsenal, highlighting a strong connection.

This link is particularly noteworthy given Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s previous tenure on Pep Guardiola’s coaching staff.

Addressing these transfer rumors, Romano shared insights during a recent Daily Briefing. While discussions linking Bernardo Silva to Arsenal have circulated, Romano clarified that he hasn’t received concrete information regarding such a move.

He pointed out that Silva’s release clause stands at £50 million, but Manchester City is hesitant to see him join a Premier League rival, potentially complicating any transfer negotiations.

Romano also weighed in on Silva’s potential destinations if he were to leave Manchester City, suggesting that a move abroad is more probable than staying within the Premier League. Barcelona’s enduring interest in Silva adds fuel to the speculation surrounding his future.

Shifting focus, Romano addressed reports linking Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy to Arsenal.

He noted that while Mendy’s future remains uncertain, with possibilities including a transfer or contract extension, Real Madrid’s recent acquisition of Alphonso Davies suggests a potential need to offload a left-back.

This circumstance could pave the way for Mendy’s departure, with Arsenal among the clubs reportedly interested.

It’s important to highlight that Manchester United and Liverpool are also monitoring Ferland Mendy’s situation, underscoring the competitive landscape for his potential transfer.

These developments underscore the intricacies of the summer transfer window and the complexities involved in player movements among top European clubs.
