British media: Arsenal hopes to complete center signings before preseason and stay patient with Rodrigo

According to British media Football.london, Arsenal hopes to complete important signings at the center position before the Asian preseason, and may have to wait until the later stage of the transfer window to take action against target Rodrigo.

Football.london said Cesco and Yorke are still the main candidate targets for Arsenal. It is reported that Sesco is the club's first choice, but RB Leipzig wants to maximize transfer returns and make the deal more financially demanding. On the Yorke side, Portuguese Sports seems reluctant to accept the price of Arsenal's hope for a €60 million base transfer fee plus a €10 million floating clause. Both deals are currently open to Arsenal, but the club hopes to get the best offer.

On the other hand, although Rodrigo is indeed Arsenal's clear goal, the transfer operation of introducing Brazilian strikers is quite complicated. Rodrigo is still in Real Madrid's plan, but if the Brazilian's playing time is compressed, the situation may turn around. Therefore, Arsenal's action against Rodrigo may have to wait until the later stage of the transfer window. It is understood that the club is patient with the opportunity to introduce players of this level.

Operating multiple forward goals at the same time reflects the overall transfer strategy of football director Berta. Even if this does not meet fans' expectations for all trades to be completed in the first month of the transfer window, the club's management is sure that the team's lineup will be significantly strengthened when the window is closed.
