Arsenal Seal Terms With Mosquera in €20m Swoop

Personal Terms Wrapped Up

Arsenal have moved a step closer to reinforcing Mikel Arteta’s back line after striking a full agreement on personal terms with Valencia centre-back Cristhian Mosquera. The 21-year-old has been high on the club’s radar since the window opened, and talks in London this week unlocked a contract that will keep him at the Emirates until 2029, pending a transfer fee accord.

The Gunners’ opening bid of €14 million was swiftly knocked back by Valencia, but sporting director Edu is ready to return with an improved package worth just over €20 million. Performance-related add-ons could nudge the deal even higher, yet Arsenal remain confident of closing because Los Che prefer to sell abroad rather than strengthen La Liga rivals.

Spanish Interest Fading

Real Madrid had monitored Mosquera as a long-term option, but the European champions have shifted focus to alternative targets, leaving Arsenal with a relatively clear path. Valencia’s financial constraints, combined with the player’s desire to test himself in the Premier League, further tilt negotiations in London’s favour.

Why Mosquera Fits Arsenal

Standing 1.90 m with a left foot that dovetails neatly with William Saliba’s right, Mosquera offers aerial dominance, progressive passing and the versatility to slot in at left-back when required. Landing him would complete Arteta’s planned quartet of summer recruits alongside a forward, a midfielder and a backup goalkeeper.

What Happens Next?

Arsenal hope to finalise the fee before their U.S. pre-season tour kicks off next month, allowing Mosquera to integrate swiftly and ease the workload on Gabriel and Saliba during a season that will again feature Champions League football.

Opinion

If Edu seals this deal at around €20 million, it could prove the bargain of Arsenal’s window—left-footed centre-backs capable of playing Arteta-ball rarely come this cheap.
