Arsenal are reportedly keeping tabs on the Girona defender Miguel Gutierrez ahead of a potential move this summer.
According to Fichajes, Arsenal will face competition from European giants Bayern Munich in their pursuit of the 22-year-old defender.
The defender has been a key player for the Spanish club this season and it is no surprise that his performances have attracted the attention of the top clubs. Arsenal could certainly use a quality left-back next season and the 22-year-old would be a superb acquisition. He has shown his quality in the Spanish league and he could be a key player for Arsenal as well.
The defender is reportedly valued at €40 million and Arsenal have the financial resources to get the deal done. They are likely to raise a substantial amount of money from the departures of Kieran Tierney and Nuno Tavares, who are likely to be sold in the summer. Gutierrez will be expected to compete with Oleksandr Zinchenko for the starting spot.
Miguel Gutierrez well improve Arsenal
Arsenal need to improve their squad if they want to major trophies in the coming seasons and the La Liga defender seems like the ideal fit for them. He will help them defensively and improve them in the attacking phase of play as well.
Meanwhile, the former Real Madrid defender is on the radar of the Spanish champions as well. However, Real Madrid are undecided on whether they want to sign him this summer. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal can take advantage of the situation and get the deal done.
Real Madrid Madrid have a buyback clause inserted into his contract and they will be able to sign him for a knockdown price this summer. They could certainly use more depth in the left back department, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to bring Gutierrez back to the club.
The opportunity to return to his boyhood club club could be an attractive proposition for him. Arsenal will hope that Real Madrid move on to other targets instead.
