Arsenal has completed the signing of promising young talent Bitello, with a five-year contract and an additional one-year extension. The official announcement of the player and his assigned jersey number 23 is expected later in the week.
In the dynamic world of football transfers, attention is focused on Gremio’s skilled midfielder Bitello, who could be making a surprising move to Arsenal in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Despite Arsenal’s substantial spending last summer, including signings like Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber, and Declan Rice, the club is actively exploring potential additions.
Bitello, a 23-year-old Brazilian playmaker, has garnered interest from Arsenal, Monaco, Porto, and Zenit St Petersburg. While several clubs vie for his talents, Arsenal remains optimistic about securing his signature.
Arsenal is reportedly confident about finalizing a deal with Bitello in January, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirming the South American scouting team’s close monitoring of the player’s performances at Gremio.
TuttoMercatoWeb suggests that Arsenal is close to sealing the deal this week for a reported fee of €10 million (£6.8 million), slightly below Gremio’s initial asking price. Gremio’s president, Alberto Guerra, acknowledged Arsenal’s interest and ongoing discussions but clarified that no concrete proposals had been received.
Bitello himself downplayed Monaco’s interest, expressing contentment with his current team and mentioning that discussions with his coach are yet to take place. Known for his versatility on the field, Bitello has showcased skills as a midfielder, false nine, and right-winger, offering Arsenal added depth and dynamism.
As the transfer saga unfolds, football enthusiasts eagerly await the official announcement of Bitello’s move to Arsenal, anticipating the positive impact his skills will bring to the squad.
