The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery may be available for about €90 million, according to TeamTalk, which has connected Arsenal to another big transfer move. Many people consider the 19-year-old to be one of the most promising players in European football, having already made close to 150 professional appearances for PSG.
PSG has reportedly been contacted by middlemen over the teenager’s prospective availability; Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Arsenal have all been mentioned as potential destinations. Despite the exorbitant price tag, Zaire-Emery’s profile and performances since joining PSG’s first team are sure to generate a lot of attention.
The French powerhouses are rumored to have “approached” the 19-year-old, who may be amenable to a transfer, to negotiate a potential move. Whether Mikel Arteta actually needs another midfielder is more of an issue for Arsenal than the player’s skill.
Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, and a variety of younger players who offer depth are already part of the team. Zaire-Emery is a desirable choice due to his claimed versatility; this season, he has played three different positions, including right-back.
Arsenal tipped to give PSG a headache with €80m transfer offer
Since Zaire-Emery has always been regarded as a high prospect, he will undoubtedly be disappointed that his club does not select him first. It now appears that Zaire-Emery might go for about €80 million, which has Arsenal and Man City on high alert.
My sources informed me that there is confusion about his (Zaire-Emery’s) circumstances, as stated in the Daily Briefing story. He wants to understand his role clearly, and he is aware that many other elite teams would offer him far more playing time if he is not happy.
“PSG is aware of his talent and isn’t actively trying to sell, but they also need to be pragmatic. They could have something to think about with €80m. Even though they already face fierce competition in midfield, it makes sense that Arsenal, a premier club, would be interested in a player of Zaire-Emery’s caliber.
It is unlikely that the Gunners will prioritize that part of their team again so soon after adding Christian Norgaard, Mikel Merino, and Martin Zubimendi over the previous two summer transfer windows.
