Arsenal Plan 200 Million Euro Transfer Moves for Morgan Rogers and Eli Junior Kroupi

Arsenal are preparing a transfer strategy that includes simultaneous moves for attackers Eli Junior Kroupi and Morgan Rogers before the summer window closes, with the club’s technical secretariat planning a net budget of 200 million euros.

Fichajes.net says the Gunners will put “sobre la mesa una propuesta que superará con facilidad los cien millones fijos,” while it frames Kroupi as a 19-year-old priority and Rogers as a 23-year-old target for Mikel Arteta’s offense.

BBC Sport reports that Arsenal’s priority this summer is to finalise a new contract with Arteta, whose current deal expires at the end of next season, and it says the process will pick up again during the summer.

BBC Sport also lists a transfer wishlist featuring Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers and Bournemouth’s Eli Junior Kroupi, with the Gunners targeting a central midfielder, forward and full-back in the transfer market.

The BBC adds that Rogers and Kroupi are expected to cost in excess of £80m each, while Barcelona target Julian Alvarez is being valued at more than £120m, making the overall recruitment plan dependent on balancing incomings, sales and new deals.

Football London says Arsenal are interested in both Morgan Rogers and Eli Junior Kroupi ahead of an ambitious summer, and it notes that the Gunners were crowned Premier League champions after Mikel Arteta’s rise from when the club were in the bottom half of the table.

In the same context, Football London quotes Arteta after the Champions League final defeat to Paris St-Germain, saying: “We start to make some very important decisions if we want to reach another level.”

Sky Sports’ Paper Talk adds that Chelsea will not block an exit for Marc Cucurella if an offer matches their valuation, while it also says PSG will make a move to sign Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi, who has been linked with Arsenal.

Sky Sports also reports that talkSPORT says William Saliba could miss the World Cup after flaring up a pre-existing back injury during the Champions League final, a development that could affect Arsenal’s squad planning.

Meanwhile, FootballTransfers reports that Arsenal want Igor Thiago as a €115m deal edges closer and that Morgan Rogers is “expected” to leave Aston Villa, tying multiple recruitment narratives to the same summer window.

BBC Sport says Arsenal’s summer work will be complicated by last season’s £250m spend on new players, player renewals and lucrative bonuses paid to players in lieu of their Premier League success, while it also says the club are mindful of ensuring finances are balanced during the close season.

BBC Sport reports that any move for Rogers, Kroupi or Alvarez could be facilitated by exits, with Arsenal open to offers for Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard’s deal expiring in 12 months.

The BBC also states that Arsenal are set to listen to offers for Christian Norgaard and Ben White, while it adds that Jakub Kiwior has already been sold to Porto for £14.7m.

Fichajes.net, meanwhile, says Arsenal will “agilizar una profunda y drástica operación de salida” to keep treasury stability, and it names Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesús and Riccardo Calafiori as players “con fuerza” to be transferred.

With the recruitment plan tied to both contract decisions and player sales, BBC Sport frames Arteta’s renewal as central to the project, quoting co-chair Josh Kroenke: “Keeping Mikel around is an utmost priority” as Arsenal aim to execute the summer blueprint.
