Arteta asks Arsenal to sign Rodrigo! Thomas: The future does not depend on me!

reported that Vieira's loan terms allow him to follow Porto to the Club World Cup, but the long-term future of the 25-year-old midfielder is uncertain, although Portugal media said Porto wants to keep him.
Another problem is that if Porto goes far in the Club World Cup, it will inevitably affect Vieira's pre-season preparations with Arsenal: the Club World Cup final will be held on July 13, and this is only 6 days before the Gunners fly to Singapore to start pre-season preparations.
I don't think Porto can reach the final, but since Arsenal allows Vieira to participate in the Club World Cup in the United States, this means that it is actually not ruled out to sell him this summer. The actual situation is the same. Of course, nothing is yet to be decided.
I hope Vieira can perform well in the Club World Cup and strive to sell for a good price! Even if he returns to Arsenal, he has no future.
Thomas recently wore Jorginho's new jersey in Flamenco while exercising in a gym in Ghana.
Thomas seems to have held a training camp or event in Ghana to help discover local football geniuses.
can also be considered as an administrator... But this is not the key, the key is his contract renewal. Thomas also talked about this issue in an interview recently.
Thomas recently said in an interview with TV3 in Ghana that he would like to stay in Arsenal, but it depends on his agent and the club reaching an agreement.
Thomas said: "I think the first question is, are you happy there? Do you feel like you are at home? Then, what are your next goals and what do you want to achieve?
There are a lot of things to consider, now you have to see if your family is happy there, and when you are young, you can just go.
I can't decide anything, my next step must balance my ambitions, family and security, and it depends on the agent and the club (Arsenal), me? I just want to enjoy football."
To be honest, after watching the interview, my first feeling is that it doesn't look like the two parties have reached an agreement or are close to reaching an agreement.
When a player says his future is decided by the agent, it means he does not rule out the possibility of leaving the team. Of course, I also believe that Thomas' first choice is to stay in Arsenal, but the conditions must be appropriate. At this age, he will no longer give up short-term benefits for his dreams like young players. Just painting cakes is not enough. You have to give real money. What people have to consider is what they have to retire.
But the two sides have been talking for a long time and there has been no result yet, which shows that the players are not satisfied with the initial conditions provided by Arsenal. Whether an agreement can be reached next depends on the club's sincerity. Thomas's conditions are definitely worth the effort. The question is whether it is worth taking risks. It takes into account factors such as age and injuries. Thomas needs to balance some things. Isn't Arsenal the same?
Let's wait for news. If Thomas stays in the team, it's best. If he leaves, he will definitely buy a midfielder, not Zubi Mendi.
Romano tweeted: Arsenal and Chelsea have both started contacting and asked to be informed of Harto's situation.
Follow the recent meaning of DO, Arsenal will not give up after missing Heysen, and will continue to seek to acquire a new central defender, and there are rumors about Gee...
But if you really continue to buy Guy, then I personally think it is better to try Harto to buy Guy. Harto is younger, more potential, and can also play as a left-back (actually, it was mainly the left-back last season). For Guy, he is unlikely to be willing to come to Arsenal as a rotation substitute.
But understanding the situation does not mean you want to buy it. The rumors about Harto are not for a day or two, let’s talk about it.
TA reporter DO talked about the progress of the deal between Arsenal and Kepa in the podcast.
DO said: "We believe Kepa has agreed to join Arsenal and they must pay a penalty of £5 million. The deal has not been completed, but it is indeed very in-depth and is operating. Kepa is ready to compete with Raya for the main position."
As long as Kepa agrees, it is easy to say that liquidated damages are not a problem.
I think the competition for the main position is just a scene. Raya must be the No. 1 goalkeeper, but it can indeed give Kepa more opportunities in the Cup, rather than letting Raya attend almost as much as last season.
It’s not that we urge you, really hurry up. It’s understandable that you drag something like Xie Shiko. What are you waiting for in a deal like Kepa? It’s early to announce it! It's not difficult, and it will be troublesome if there is a team behind to provide the main position to grab it. Where can I find a goalkeeper with 5 million at this level...
TA reporter DO talked about the deal between Arsenal and Zubimendi in the podcast.
He said: "Arsenal really promoted the acquisition of Zubimendi, I think it started after Liverpool's failed acquisition last summer. Edu was negotiating Merino with Real Sociedad at the time, and there was no doubt that both sides also talked about Zubimendi.
According to our news, Arsenal believes that the deal has been completed, and it can even be said to have been signed. They expect Zubimendi to report at the beginning of the pre-season preparation, and North London has included him in the plan for next season.
It seems that Arsenal needs to pay more than 60 million euros to complete the transaction, which is higher than the player's liquidated damages, but the payment model can be changed without a lump sum."
If there is no reversal, I won't say more about Zubimendi's problem. In fact, it has been finalized, but it was just because of the accounting reasons for fiscal year.
There is nothing to say. More than 60 million euros is not cheap, but midfielders that can play and sort out are scarce. Just buy them. It depends on whether they can adapt to the Premier League. The level is OK.. According to Mario Cortegana, a reporter from Real Madrid, Arteta is urging Arsenal to sign Rodrigo for him, and he believes the star has the ability to bring change to his team.
People familiar with the matter revealed that Arteta believes that Rodrigo is an ideal candidate to strengthen Arsenal's left, and the Brazilian's ability to sidize and score is also very consistent with the Gunners' coach's tactical expectations. Reports said Arteta has even assured Rodrigo that he will play an important role in his system.
This reporter is indeed a Real Madrid team reporter, and there are recent news that DO also mentioned in the podcast that Arsenal is waiting for Rodrigo to decide on his future after the Club World Cup, and they want to sign the winger. But since I didn't find that podcast source myself, it was not used for the time being.
The news that Arsenal is interested in Rodrigo is likely to be true, but if Rodrigo makes a decision after the Club World Cup, will the winger's signings be delayed until mid-July? Even if Rodrigo really decides to leave the team, it will take time to operate him, right? There will be competitors, right? And what if Rodrigo decides to stay in the team in July? Wouldn't it be very passive...
I don't think this matter is clear. If you really want to buy a left winger, you can't wait until so late. By mid-July, many other wingers may have been bought. It's too passive. It doesn't mean that Rodrigo's decision to leave the team is equivalent to Arsenal's people... Moreover, according to the current news, Rodrigo is actually very likely to decide to stay in the team.
