Posted Friday, February 16, 2024 by Goal.com

Arsenal will be demanding between £150 million to £200 million for winger Bukayo Saka from any potential suitor, as reported by Football Insider.

Manchester City's interest in Saka has diminished after he renewed his contract with Arsenal in 2023. The Gunners consider him the second most valuable player in the Premier League, behind Erling Haaland. Saka has been in outstanding form recently and has six goals in his last five Premier League matches.

Man Utd shortlist Juve defender Bremer

Manchester United is reportedly interested in acquiring Juventus defender Gleison Bremer during the upcoming summer transfer window, according to Calciomercato.

United's pursuit of Bremer aligns with their objective to strengthen their defence, especially with potential departures of players like Jonny Evans, Raphael Varane, and possibly Harry Maguire as well.

However, Juventus are holding out for a transfer fee of around €70 million for Bremer's services, indicating their reluctance to part ways with the talented defender.
