According to the latest report from well-known journalist Romano, Ligue 1 powerhouse Marseille has submitted a new offer to Premier League giants Arsenal for potential striker Nketiah. Previously, Marseille's offer of 27 million euros for Nketiah has been rejected by Arsenal, who insisted on 35 million euros.
This new offer marks the restart of negotiations between the two sides. Nketiah himself holds a strong interest in joining Marseille, and is attracted by the team's plans and blueprint for the future, eager to continue to enhance his career in the French game.
For their part, Marseille have expressed their pleasure at being back at the negotiating table, but they have also made it clear that they will only go ahead with the deal if it is in the club's own interests and conditions. This means that Marseille may seek more flexibility or additional clauses in the negotiations to balance the transfer fee with the player's performance.
Arsenal, on the other hand, insisted on their own position on the asking price, and they hope to get enough financial returns from Nketiah's transfer to support the team's reinforcements and lineup construction in the future. Nketiah, as an excellent striker trained by Arsenal's youth training system, has gradually emerged in the team in recent years and become an important member of Arsenal's front line. However, with the team's tactical adjustments and lineup changes, Nketiah's future at Arsenal has become less certain, which also provides an opportunity for him to seek a transfer.
