Arsenal are hoping to raise €100 million by offloading academy graduates Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri amidst interest from European giants.
Arsenal already have a star-studded squad, but they are making plans to further bolster it this summer. They want to build a team that can challenge for all titles in England and Europe. They are aware that it will require significant investment. As a result, the North London club are looking to raise funds before going big in the summer transfer window.
According to a report from Fichajes, the Gunners are looking to cash in on Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri. They want to raise €100 million by selling their academy graduates, who are on the radar of Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid.
Lewis-Skelly is ready to leave Arsenal
Lewis-Skelly has had a sensational rise at the North London club. He got promoted to their first team in the summer of 2024 and had an exceptional debut campaign with four goal contributions in 39 games. Not only did he do wonders in his preferred left-back position, the 19-year-old even did a great job while playing in central midfield.
While he was hoping to have a more prominent role this season, things have not gone according to plan for him. The English youth international has only had 1,358 minutes of first-team action this term. He seems keen on securing a move away in search of more minutes, and Arsenal are also ready to cash in on him as they look to raise funds. Recent reports have also linked the youngster with Real Madrid.
The Gunners are hoping to make a significant profit on their academy graduate, who is on the radar of Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich. Both clubs seek more competition at the left, and his versatility is one of the reasons they are going after him.
Ethan Nwaneri will also be on the move
At Bayern Munich, he will replace the outgoing Raphael Guerreiro, while at Atletico Madrid, he will compete with Matteo Ruggeri for a place in the starting XI. Meanwhile, Ethan Nwaneri, who is currently out on loan at Marseille, is also expected to be on the move.
The 19-year-old attacking midfielder has had a decent impact at the French club since joining them at the start of the year. While he will return to North London in the summer, he is unlikely to have an important role in the first team. As a result, Arsenal are ready to cash in on him, with interest in his services quite high.
Mikel Arteta’s team are hoping they can raise €100 million from the duo’s sale. They will then look to reinvest it to sign three world-class players to take their squad to the next level.
