UEFA Champions League
Antonio Nusa, a 21-year-old Norwegian winger, has entered a new phase of tracking in the Arsenal's transfer market, which is preparing an offer of 40 million euros for the player from Leipzig. The German club sets his release clause between 60 and 65 million euros. Nusa's contract expires in June 2029.
Antonio Nusa boosts his value with Leipzig
The start of the season has strengthened Leipzig's negotiating position. Nusa has tallied 3 goals and 2 assists in 6 official matches across Bundesliga, Cup, and Champions League, with 2 goals and 2 assists in 4 league matches.
One of his most productive games came against Hamburg, in a 5-0 victory on September 13th. Nusa scored a goal and provided 2 assists in 77 minutes, according to German competition records.
His performance is also impacting his economic value. Nusa joined Leipzig from Club Bruges in August 2024 for around 21 million euros and currently has a five-year contract. Market estimations place his valuation in a range close to 50-65 million euros, although the selling price depends on the German club's demands.

Arsenal prepares 40 million euros, but Leipzig stands firm
Arsenal is one of the clubs making a more concrete move for Antonio Nusa. Information surfaced recently by Ekrem Konur suggests an initial proposal of 40 million euros, an amount lower than the 60-65 million euros requested by Leipzig.
The economic difference is significant as Leipzig doesn't need to sell the player during the upcoming winter transfer window. Nusa hasn't publicly expressed a desire to leave Germany, meaning any transfer would require a proposal capable of altering the club's stance.
The player arrived in Germany after Leipzig paid around 21 million euros to Club Bruges. His contract running until 2029 also allows the club to negotiate without the pressure of an immediate contractual exit.
Competition from teams like Tottenham, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and several Serie A sides is also intensifying. In addition, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are among the clubs linked to the winger.
For Arsenal, the 40 million euros would serve as an initial reference to test Leipzig's stance. If the German club remains firm on 60 to 65 million euros, the next move for the Londoners must align with that valuation or wait for another market opportunity. Meanwhile, Antonio Nusa will remain under contract until 2029, with potential for his value to increase further if he maintains his current form.
