For some time now, rumors have been circulating about a possible departure of Granit Xhaka from "Arsenal", and recently "AS Roma" has been actively interested in him. "Goal.com" reports that "Arsenal" hopes to receive 20 million pounds sterling for G. Xhaka, while the Roma club was hoping to acquire the Swiss for 15 million. However, "Goal" reports that both parties want to reach an agreement and hope that this will happen soon, so there are certainly good chances that Xhaka will play in Italy next season. "Arsenal" sees Ruben Neves, the midfielder of "Wolverhampton", as the successor to Xhaka. The 24-year-old Portuguese has been playing for "Wolves" since the 2017/18 season and has scored a total of 17 goals and made 8 assists while representing this team. Of course, these statistics do not show everything, as in recent seasons Neves has been one of the best young central midfielders in the Premier League. "The Times" reported that "Arsenal" is definitely interested in this central midfielder and will try to acquire him. The price mentioned is 35 million pounds sterling. It is also reported that the young central midfielder Emile Smith-Rowe is ready to extend his contract with the "gunners" until 2026. Fabrizio Romano says that only the details remain and the signature on the contract will be put.
