According to the latest report from the Daily Mail, Arsenal's transfer market asking price for their own striker Nketiah has been set at £30 million, which is significantly higher than Ligue 1 rivals Marseille's previous offer of €27 million (£23 million). The disagreement has led to a stalemate in negotiations between the two sides, but Marseille have not given up and will continue to try to bring in the high-profile English striker.
Arsenal's valuation of Nketiah is clearly based on his importance and potential in the team, believing that he deserves a higher transfer fee. Marseille, on the other hand, see Nketiah as the team's top target and are therefore unwilling to give up easily, but they are also aware that there is a big gap between the current offer and Arsenal's asking price, and need to seek more room for negotiation.
Reports indicate that Marseille want Arsenal to show some flexibility in the negotiations so that both sides can reach a more reasonable price. However, Arsenal seem to be in no hurry to sell Nketiah, preferring to wait for an offer that meets their psychological price.
Meanwhile, Marseille's sights for reinforcements are not limited to Nketiah alone. They are also keeping a close eye on another player - Pereira. This summer, Pereira has attracted the attention of many European teams with his outstanding performance, including Serie A giants Juventus. However, Pereira is now a key player in Fulham's team, and Fulham naturally do not want to let go of this core player easily, and they are trying to persuade Pereira to stay in the team.
