Arsenal’s Summer Overhaul: Transfers, Targets, and Potential Exits

A look at the players already signed, the high‑profile pursuits, and the names that could leave the Emirates.

Arsenal have already wrapped up three signings ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, bringing in Ecuadorian centre‑back Piero Hincapie, French goalkeeper Illan Meslier and Greek forward Christos Tzolis.

A busy window ahead for the Gunners

Technical director Mikel Arteta has confirmed that negotiations are ongoing for a move that would see Bruno Guimaraes join the club, with personal terms already settled and a £70 million offer on the table.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr remains on Arsenal’s radar, with the Brazilian star reportedly demanding a weekly wage of £25 million, a figure that could reshape the club’s attacking options.

Another name on the wish list is Julian Alvarez, the Argentine forward who Arsenal have courted for some time; a prospective £85 million player‑plus‑cash transaction involving Viktor Gyokeres is being discussed.

On the outgoing front, Gabriel Jesus is attracting interest from AC Milan, who are said to be preparing a £16 million bid, while midfielder Fabio Viera is edging closer to a permanent switch to Hamburg, a move that would return him to the Bundesliga.

Reiss Nelson also appears likely to depart, with Fulham, Benfica and Valencia all expressing interest in the English winger.

These movements reflect a broader strategy by Arsenal to balance squad depth with financial considerations, a plan overseen by manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu, as the club looks to fine‑tune its roster before the next season.
