A year ago, Arsenal set a record for the amount of money spent, investing 170 million euros in the playing staff, but a good part of the money went to reinforcements for the future. This summer, however, they could break that record, by investing all their money in players who are ready to take them to a higher level next season already.It started with the promotion of the talented Marquinhos, but the arrival of the 19-year-old winger for 3.5 million euros from Sao Paulo was just an announcement of what is to come in north London.First, what Arsenal have already agreed. Fabio Vieira, whose sale Porto has already confirmed (35 + 5 million euros) and the Portuguese midfielder was not even a priority – he was an opportunity that Mikel Arteta simply could not miss. Sports director Edu is now aiming at the main targets – Gabriel Jesus, Raphinha, Youri Tielemans and Lisandro Martinez. And the plan is to bring all three of them, Athletic writes.Mon 00:00: (4.00) Union Santa Fe (3.45) River Plate (1.99)According to the same source, the latter is the priority of all priorities for Arteta. What puts Martinez at the top of the wish list of the Spanish expert is his versatility, because the Argentine can cover the positions of central and left back, but also the defensive midfielder. Arsenal are reportedly looking for a left sweeper to be a partner to Gabriel, and Arteta would primarily use him there, but his universality would also contribute to the depth of the playing staff, which the Spaniard also wants to work on this summer.Athletic adds that Arsenal have already sent the first offer to the Amsterdamers club worth 30 million euros, but the champion of the Netherlands have already rejected it, which is why the new ‘attack’ of the Gunners on the best player of Ajax last season is announced. This, however, could also alarm Manchester United, whose new coach Erik ten Hag would like to work with Martinez again, this time at Old Trafford.BREAKING 🚨🇧🇪 | Arsenal and Leicester have come to a verbal agreement for Youri Tielemans. The fee being around £25m + add ons rising to a total fee of £30m. The official bid should be sent soon. Personal terms are not an issue as there is also a verbal agreement there. #AFC 🔴⚪️ pic.twitter.com/iqfOsf4ydM— PL Transfer Centre (@RefreshTransfe) June 15, 2022 As for Raphina, Arsenal found themselves in the pole position for his signature when Leeds secured their Premier League stay, which cooled off Barcelona’s interest. The Catalans hoped that with the relegation of the Peacocks, they would get the Brazilian for 25 million, but they will not be able to offer twice as much due to the financial situation and the intention to hire a large number of expensive players.The purchase of Vieira did not ruin Arsenal’s plans for Tielemans. The London club is negotiating with Leicester and should send an offer for the Belgian midfielder soon. The Foxes are waiting to see the offered amount, but they will most likely not get nearly as much as Tielemans is worth (55 million euros), because the 25-year-old midfielder has entered the last year of his contract.The bullet is in the chamber – Nketiah stays at the EmiratesThere should be the least problems with Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian has expressed his desire to leave, Manchester City will indulge him and now Arsenal still need to fulfill the financial demands of the English champions. With the first attempt – they did not succeed, City rejected the offer of 35-40 million euros, but according to the latest information, the London club saved 60 million euros for Jesus, just as much as the Citizens are asking…
