Arsenal and Manchester City have reached a preliminary agreement over the acquisition of Gabriel Jesus. The plan still needs to be finalised, summer, and a forward will now take precedence over a center-back. Newcastle United defeated the Rossoneri in a bidding war despite having personal terms with Sven Botman already agreed upon. The club felt that strengthening the attack and the creative midfield should take precedence over spending €30m on a defender.
As a result, a decision between two key aims is arising. Instead, their resources will be concentrated on strengthening those possibilities for coach Stefano Pioli.
The player's agent reportedly made an offer to the Serie A champions for Ziyech, who would be available on a paid loan from Chelsea with an option to buy. Milan would rather have Asensio, who is only 26 years old and is entering the final year of his deal.
AS Diario note The gap between Real Madrid's alleged €40 million asking price and the €30 million offer can be filled. He primarily plays on the right, which would balance out Rafael Leao's left-sided attack better.
