Arsenal have reportedly submitted a formal offer for a former Manchester City player Leroy Sane, but it seems their efforts may fall short as the player’s demands for a salary increase come to light. With three other clubs tabling more lucrative bids, the North London side’s offer appears to be lagging behind.
The talented former City winger has been a subject of keen interest from multiple clubs across Europe. Arsenal, eager to bolster their squad, have made their intentions clear with a written proposal. However, their financial package seems to have placed them at a disadvantage in the competition for his signature.
Sources suggest that the player, while open to a move, is holding out for a more lucrative deal. This request has placed substantial pressure on Arsenal’s negotiating team, who now face a challenging decision – whether to increase their offer to meet the player’s expectations or risk losing him to a higher bidder.
Sane worked with current Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta when they were both at Manchester between 2016-2019, and he would join former team mates Gabriel Jesus and Oleksander Zincheko if he moves to the emirates.
As it stands, the Gunners find themselves in a delicate position, needing to weigh their desire to secure the player against the implications of stretching their financial commitments. The coming days will likely prove pivotal as Arsenal decide their next move in this intriguing transfer saga.
