Recently, Assays talked about Arsenal's consecutive major signings this summer, and their goal is to strive to win the championship in the 2025/26 season.
After winning the Premier League runner-up and entering the Champions League semi-finals for three consecutive seasons, Arsenal missed the championship again. Despite Arteta's team's outstanding performance, that alone is not enough to win honors. In order to further improve its strength, the club had to increase its investment.
Arsenal has spent 240 million euros in the 2023/24 season, marking a turning point in the club's hope to make changes. The large-scale reforms carried out by Berta are a clear signal from Arsenal to the Premier League opponents. The 2025 summer transfer window has become the most expensive summer in club history, although the technical department has not announced a final decision. With the joining of Kepa, Zubimendi, Norgou, Maduaike, Yorkress and Moscarat, Arsenal's transfer spending has exceeded €240 million two years ago. While no deal is close to the transfer fee paid for Rice at the time, Zubimendi and Yorkress have exceeded €140 million.
Espanyol and Swedes' transfer fees are directly among the top five Arsenal's highest transfer fees, second only to Rice (117 million euros), Nicholas Pepe (80 million euros) and Havertz (75 million euros). These signings are necessary for Arteta to make up for the lack of roster depth in the past few seasons. If the Gunners eventually sign Eze, Gordon or other midfielder, the total spending could even exceed €300 million.
Eze, the English player of Crystal Palace, has a termination fee of about £68 million, and he is very popular with Berta. Newcastle winger Gordon is seen as an alternative. Although the "cleaning operation" has not yet brought a large amount of capital inflows (Jorginho, Tierney and Thomas left the team, Fu'an Jianyang terminated the contract in consultation, and the transfers of Tavarez and Marginhos brought 8 million euros in revenue), sports management is also working to retain current and future star players: Gabriel and Skelly renewed their contracts until 2029 and 2030 respectively.
