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.

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?

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.
