Cristhian Mosquera, the promising young defender from Valencia, is reportedly eager to make a move to Arsenal, despite previous links to Italian giants Inter and AC Milan. The Spain U21 international is said to be reluctant to extend his contract with Valencia, which currently runs until June 2026, as he sets his sights on a transfer to the English Premier League.
Arsenal Leads Race for Mosquera`s Signature
According to reports from transfer experts, Mosquera has already agreed to personal terms with Arsenal. The Gunners have reportedly had an initial bid of €14 million rejected by Valencia, but negotiations are expected to continue. The 21-year-old defender seems determined to make the move to North London, with sources claiming it`s “impossible” that he will sign a new contract with his current club.
Serie A Giants Shift Focus
Inter and AC Milan, who were previously interested in Mosquera, appear to have turned their attention elsewhere. Both clubs are now reportedly pursuing another promising young defender, Giovanni Leoni from Parma. However, Parma is said to be holding out for an offer exceeding €25 million for the 18-year-old talent.
As the transfer saga unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal can secure Mosquera`s services or if other suitors will emerge. The young defender`s potential move could be one of the most intriguing storylines of the upcoming transfer window.
