Arsenal Receive Good News as PSG, Real Madrid Target Rejects Lucrative Offer
PSG could be set for a transfer battle with Arsenal, AC Milan, Juventus, and Real Madrid over one of Spain's most highly rated young defenders. But Arsenal appear to be out in front, having reportedly reached a personal agreement with the player. While PSG had one of the best defensive records in Ligue 1 last season, there are growing concerns about the long-term reliability of the backline. Lucas Hernandez is back in action but still recovering from a major injury. Marquinhos remains a vocal presence at the back, though he's lost some of the burst that once made him a dominant force. Advertisement Presnel Kimpembe continues to have influence in the dressing room, but his fitness remains an open question. Luis Enrique has been pleased with the development of Lucas Beraldo, though for now, the Brazilian is still seen as more of a rotational option than a week-in, week-out starter. Marca has reported that Real Madrid are already weighing their options for next summer's free agents. Arsenal left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly and Mosquera are among the names on their radar. Foot Mercato reported that Mosquera is on PSG's transfer radar this summer to continue injecting youth into the center-back position. A key player for Valencia, the Alicante native could be sold by the club to boost its finances. Could PSG lose a defensive target to Arsenal? JOSE JORDAN/AFP via Getty Images Advertisement According to Las Provincias, Mosquera has rejected a lucrative new contract from Valencia as he looks to secure a move to Arsenal. Fichajes reported that Sergio Barila, the agent of Cristhian Mosquera, has sparked concern within Valencia CF after publicly voicing his frustration with the club's latest contract offer. Valencia have put forward an improved deal running through 2028, which includes a gross salary bump to around €3.2 million. But according to the report, Barila feels the proposal still doesn't reflect Mosquera's talent or long-term upside. The message from the agent's camp is clear: unless the offer improves soon, Mosquera may start looking at opportunities elsewhere. Meanwhile, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently reported that Arsenal have already agreed on personal terms with Mosquera. The Premier League club had an initial €14 million bid rejected but are preparing a new offer expected to exceed €20 million, with negotiations still underway.

Arsenal, PSG Transfer Target Makes €3.2M Wage Demand to Valencia
PSG could be heading into a transfer battle with Arsenal, AC Milan, Juventus, and Real Madrid for one of Spain's most promising young defenders. But Arsenal have already taken the early lead, reportedly reaching a personal agreement with the player. Despite boasting one of Ligue 1's top defenses last season, PSG's backline is beginning to show signs of wear. Lucas Hernandez has returned to action but is still working his way back from a serious injury. Marquinhos remains a vocal leader, though he's lost some of the explosiveness that once defined his game. Advertisement Presnel Kimpembe continues to play an important role off the pitch, but concerns about his fitness linger. Luis Enrique is encouraged by Lucas Beraldo's progress, but for now, the Brazilian is still viewed as a rotational option rather than a regular starter. Arsenal, PSG target's agent makes demand to ValenciaAccording to a report from Fichajes, Sergio Barila — the agent of Cristhian Mosquera — has raised concerns within Valencia CF after publicly expressing dissatisfaction with the club's latest contract proposal. The report states that Valencia have offered an improved deal through 2028, including a gross salary increase to around €3.2 million. However, Barila reportedly believes the terms still fall well short of what Mosquera deserves given his ability and long-term potential. Advertisement The message is clear: unless the club improves its offer in the coming days, Mosquera could begin exploring options to continue his career elsewhere. Recently, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that Arsenal have agreed on personal terms with Mosquera. After Valencia rejected Arsenal's initial €14 million bid, the club is preparing a new offer—the Premier League side hope to complete the deal for a fee over €20 million, with talks currently ongoing. Marca has reported that Real Madrid are already weighing their options for next summer's free agents. Arsenal left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly and Mosquera are among the names on their radar. Foot Mercato reported that Mosquera is on PSG's transfer radar this summer to continue injecting youth into the center-back position. A key player for Valencia, the Alicante native could be sold by the club to boost its finances. Nonetheless, it seems Arsenal have the upper hand in this race and if they present an offer that satisfies Valencia, then the Gunners will come away with the talented young defender.
