Arsenal are reportedly planning a major summer overhaul, with as many as eight players potentially being sold to fund moves for Morgan Rogers and Julian Alvarez. Manager Mikel Arteta is keen to strengthen his squad after winning the Premier League title, but both targets are expected to command high fees amid competition from other clubs.
Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers, 23, has attracted interest from Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, while Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez, 26, has already seen an £87 million bid from Barcelona rejected. Arsenal may need to raise significant funds through player sales to secure either or both players.
According to reports, Fabio Vieira and Reiss Nelson are among the most likely departures, having spent recent seasons on loan. Christian Norgaard, who joined only a year ago, and Ben White could also be sold, while Ethan Nwaneri's future is uncertain after a loan spell at Marseille. The trio of Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard are out of contract in 2027, and this summer may be Arsenal's last chance to cash in on them.
Rogers, who registered 11 assists for Villa last season, is reportedly open to joining Arsenal. Villa may be forced to sell due to UEFA financial regulations. Alvarez remains Arsenal's dream signing, but Barcelona are expected to submit another offer. An alternative target is Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi, 19, who scored 13 Premier League goals this season.
Arsenal are also monitoring 16-year-old Leicester wonderkid Jeremy Monga, with a tribunal potentially deciding the fee. The club's transfer activity will be closely watched as they aim to build on their title success.
