Here We Go ✅: First Arsenal January transfer deal completed, player prepared to sign permanently, £40 million secured the deal – Announcement will be made tomorrow morning.
Following a successful conclusion of negotiations at the Emirates Stadium, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano exclusively told GIVEMESPORT that Arsenal would likely announce the permanent acquisition of David Raya “soon.”
Although Aaron Ramsdale signed a new three-year contract worth £120,000 a week in May, Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, took the risk of bolstering his goalkeeping alternatives in the summer transfer window.
Raya was selected by Arsenal after he made 62 Premier League appearances for Brentford, keeping 20 clean sheets in the process. Since moving to North London, Raya has established himself as Arteta’s first-choice option.
Raya’s switch is closed by the gunners.
As per Sky Sports, Arsenal has the option to pay £27 million to turn Raya’s loan into a permanent deal. If certain conditions are fulfilled in the last few months of the season, Arsenal will be required to retain the goalkeeper.
The Spaniard has made 20 appearances since joining the Gunners, and the article claims that the Gunners paid £3 million for him for the 2023–24 campaign. If he continues at the Emirates Stadium for the next season, they will have to pay a total of £30 million.
