Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City are reportedly keen on signing 19-year-old Spanish international Pau Cubarsi in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Caught Offside, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City are interested in Pau Cubarsi. The three Premier League giants are keen on reinforcing their defensive units by signing a centre-back in the summer transfer window. So, the 19-year-old Barcelona wonderkid has emerged as a target for them.
How has Pau Cubarsi as a senior Barcelona star?
Pau Cubarsi has added to Barcelona’s rice and fabled lineage of academy graduates becoming pivotal figures for the first-team squad. The Catalan giants have had to depend on academy talent and cost-effective signings due to their never-ending financial issues, more so in the last half decade, and the Spaniard has capitalised on that opportunity alongside Alejandro Balde, Gavi, and Lamine Yamal.
The 19-year-old has been ever-present at the heart of the Barcelona defence this season, amassing over 3,000 minutes of game time in 39 appearances thus far. Meanwhile, the Spanish centre-back prodigy’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.
Arsenal’s interest in the Barcelona wonderkid is perplexing. Mikel Arteta has a stacked central defensive unit in his squad, with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes being two of the world’s best centre-backs. Additionally, Cristhian Mosquera, Piero Hincapie, and Riccardo Calafiori are solid backup options for the two spots.
Meanwhile, Pau Cubarsi has been on Chelsea’s wishlist for a long time. The continued interest is understandable.
