Arsenal have set their sights on Germany international Leroy Sané as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the summer transfer window. The 29-year-old Bayern Munich winger is nearing the end of his contract, making him a prime target for a high-profile free transfer.
Sané, who has been a key figure for Bayern since his move from Manchester City, is yet to agree to a contract extension, fueling speculation about his next destination. Reports suggest Arsenal’s new director of football, Andrea Berta, is eager to bring the pacey winger to the Emirates, as he looks to reshape Mikel Arteta’s squad for the upcoming season.
Berta’s ambitious transfer plans do not stop with Sané. The Gunners are also in the race to sign Newcastle United’s Brazilian midfield star Bruno Guimarães, 27, and Real Sociedad’s Spanish playmaker Martín Zubimendi, 26. Both players are seen as key additions to Arsenal’s midfield as they push for Premier League and Champions League success next season.
However, Arsenal will face stiff competition. Barcelona have also expressed strong interest in Guimarães, with the Catalan giants reportedly making him a priority signing for the summer. Meanwhile, Liverpool have dispatched scouts to monitor Ajax’s rising defensive star, Jorrel Hato, 19, who has already earned five caps for the Netherlands.
Elsewhere in the transfer market, Everton are eyeing a potential move for Newcastle’s English midfielder Sean Longstaff, while European heavyweights Manchester City, Manchester United, Barcelona, and Real Madrid are all battling to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s dynamic Dutch winger Jeremie Frimpong, 24.

Barcelona’s transfer dealings are also making headlines, with the club rejecting a £57.8 million bid from Manchester United for Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong. New manager Hansi Flick is reportedly desperate to keep De Jong at the Camp Nou, prompting the club to reopen negotiations for a contract extension.
Meanwhile, Everton are closely monitoring Tottenham’s Israeli midfielder Manor Solomon, 25, who is currently on loan at Leeds. And despite growing interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester City, Bayer Leverkusen remain confident that German playmaker Florian Wirtz, 21, will extend his contract with the club.
With Arsenal actively pursuing top talent, the summer transfer window is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent years. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if the Gunners can secure Sané’s signature and bolster their squad for the challenges ahead.
