Valencia snub Arsenal offer for 21-year-old talent
It is perhaps no surprise that Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is targeting the La Liga market this summer, given that he has plenty of knowledge from his time with Atletico Madrid. He has been unsuccessful with pursuits for Joan Garcia and Nico Williams, but things could be different with Cristhian Mosquera. It was reported earlier this week that Arsenal are eyeing a move for Mosquera to compete alongside William Saliba and Gabriel Maghalaes in central defence. The 21-year-old is certain to leave Valencia this summer due to his contract expiring in 2026, with Los Che keen to cash in now. Valencia snub opening Arsenal offer for Cristhian Mosquera But they will not sanction a move unless their valuation is met. And as reported by Radio MARCA (via CaughtOffside), Arsenal have failed to do this with their opening offer. Image via Valencia CF Advertisement Arsenal made a bid worth less than €20m for Mosquera, but this has been swiftly rejected by Valencia. It has been reported in recent weeks that €25m could be enough for Los Che to sell, but regardless, the Premier League side will need to up their offer if they are to sign their leading centre-back target. Mosquera has already agreed personal terms with Arsenal It is reported that Arsenal have already agreed personal terms with Mosquera, who is very keen on moving to the Premier League for the next step in his career. Valencia are resigned to losing him, but his sale will generate funds that can be used to improve Carlos Corberan's options across multiple areas. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can get a deal done for Mosquera. They could face pressure from the likes of Liverpool, who have previously shown interest in the Spaniard and are in need of a new central defender due to Jarrel Quansah's imminent move to Bayer Leverkusen, but for now, they are firm favourites to get this over the line.

Arsenal unconcerned by Real Madrid links to defender
Arsenal are unconcerned over speculation linking Myles Lewis-Skelly with an exit and are optimistic about agreeing a new deal with the defender. Lewis-Skelly enjoyed a breakout campaign for Arsenal in 2024/25, with the teenager making 39 appearances in all competitions after debuting for the senior side in September. Advertisement The 18-year-old was a key part of Arsenal's run to the Champions League semi-finals and thrived in the quarter-final win over holders Real Madrid. Following those displays, the Spanish side have been linked with an ambitious move to sign Lewis-Skelly, whose contract has just 12 months to run. Real Madrid have targeted high-profile free agents in recent windows with Kylian Mbappe and Trent Alexander-Arnold among the names to have moved to the Bernabeu. Los Blancos are again scouting the market for potential Bosman deals, amid links to Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate and Lewis-Skelly. However, Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Arsenal remain relaxed about the latter's situation. The North Londoners are keen to reward Lewis-Skelly with a new long-term deal, recognising his development at the Emirates. Advertisement He has emerged as Mikel Arteta's first choice at left-back and marked his senior England debut with a goal in March. Lewis-Skelly became the youngest debutant to score for England, beating the previous record held by Marcus Rashford. Arsenal are keen to tie up the defender to a new deal, after sealing an agreement for Gabriel Maghalaes earlier this month. The Brazilian defender ended speculation surrounding his future at the Emirates after signing a new contract. Gabriel is now contracted to the Gunners until 2029.
