As confirmed by TEAMtalk, the contacts between both Premier League entities have intensified over the past few days. The player has informed the board of his desire to change scenery to compete regularly in international tournaments under Mikel Arteta's guidance, accepting the terms of the sports project presented from London.

Although the official valuation initially set by Newcastle reached 100 million pounds, the midfielder's strong intention to leave forces the executive leadership to evaluate the proposal. Coach Eddie Howe aims to retain his captain, but the offer from Arsenal has triggered discussions on the payment structure.

Arsenal's squad reconstruction

Arsenal's move for the former Lyon player is in response to the need to strengthen the midfield for the 2026/2027 season. At St James' Park, the possible departure of the Brazilian raises concerns in the board after losing several key pieces during the current transfer window.
