Arsenal will help Barca buy Gareth Bale
The reigning La Liga champions are planning to transfer young star duo Isaac Cuenca - Cristian Tello to Arsenal to save funds to recruit Welsh international Gareth Bale.
Despite having a fairly comprehensive squad, coach Pep Guardiola has not hidden his intention to continue strengthening his squad in the upcoming summer transfer window. Currently, Gareth Bale is the number 1 target of the reigning La Liga champions. However, the Welsh player's transfer price is the problem that the Camp Nou team is facing.
Faced with this situation, coach Pep Guardiola has requested the support of the Board of Directors and President Sando Rossell in selling young talents to save funds for big deals. At the moment, Isaac Cuenca, Cristian Tello and Jonathan Dos Santos are 3 of the most outstanding talents in the B squad.
In the Premier League, many teams are paying special attention to this trio of promising talents, the most prominent of which is Arsenal. Coach Arsene Wenger has been hunting for these players for the past 2 seasons. Even the deal of Oriol Romeu (to Chelsea), the London Gunners also participated. The two priority targets of the Professor are Isaac Cuenca and Cristian Tello.
In a statement yesterday, coach Arsene Wenger also announced that he was ready to spend heavily in the summer transfer window because the team has consistently achieved an average profit of 15 million pounds/season from transfers in recent seasons. Therefore, Barca is ready to transfer 2 young stars to Arsenal at an undisclosed price. If successful, it will be the first step of the La Liga champions in the campaign to bring Gareth Bale to Camp Nou.
In addition to Gareth Bale, the Catalan team is also interested in a number of other talents such as Jordi Alba (Valencia), Thiago Silva (AC Milan) or Neymar (Santos). To get the Welsh player, Barca will likely have to spend no less than 30 million pounds.
