[Arsenal changes]
Arsenal are secretly launching a global recruitment drive for a sporting director to fill the void left by Edu's departure, sources have revealed. This important decision will profoundly affect the Gunners' future strategic blueprint.
It is reported that with the departure of Edu, Arsenal's top management has departed for the United States to consult with the club's major shareholders on the strategic plan for 2025. The sports director candidate is undoubtedly the key topic of this meeting. It is reported that the duties of the new sports director will be more focused on the management of the first team, rather than the previous balance of youth training and women's soccer field.
Currently, several candidates stand out, including insiders such as Interim Assistant Athletic Director Jason Eto and Youth Training Academy Director Mertesacker. External candidates such as outgoing Real Sociedad sporting director Roberto Orabe are also in the spotlight. Other potential candidates include Phil Giles, Leverkusen's Simon Rolfes and Eintracht Frankfurt's Markus Kroesch.
"Reinders has become a target for the giants.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester City and Barcelona are both eyeing Milan midfielder Reinders. The former treasure player has grown rapidly since joining Milan, and his outstanding performance and strength have been widely recognized.
Reinders joined Milan for 21 million euros and now his value has soared to around 60 million euros, making him a valuable asset for Milan.
[Liverpool to protect Arnold]
According to a Graeme reporter, Liverpool have offered Arnold a tempting contract extension. If the contract extension is successful, Arnold will surpass Kane as the highest paid player in the Premier League. Liverpool are said to be confident of reaching an agreement with Arnold.
Arnold, 26, has a contract that expires in the summer of 2025. Currently, de transfer is valued at 70 million euros. This season, he has made 15 appearances on behalf of Liverpool, contributing two assists.
