Arsenal could face a battle to keep Andrea Berta at the Emirates, with both Manchester City and Bayern Munich targeting a move for him.
The Italian director has quickly become one of the hottest names in football following his superb work making the Gunners contenders for a historic treble.
What grade are you giving Andrea Berta? Explain your answers!
Berta did phenomenal work over the summer at the Emirates Stadium, signing the likes of Martin Zubimendi, Piero Hincapie, Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres.
But now, having done so well in N5, he is attracting interest from other major European clubs, and Arsenal may need to fight to keep him.
Manchester City and Bayern Munich target move for Arsenal’s Andrea Berta
Manchester City and Bayern Munich are closely monitoring Arsenal’s sporting director Andrea Berta, according to FootMercato.
City are preparing for a major overhaul over the summer, with Pep Guardiola potentially leaving, and they are now targeting Berta.
The eight-time Premier League champions have only appointed Hugo Viana, but they have also set their sights on potentially bringing in the Arsenal man as well.
Bayern Munich also have two sporting directors already in Max Eberl and Christoph Freund, but the 54-year-old is now emerging as a target for them.
AS Monaco are the third club who are keen on the Italian director and may soon need to replace Thiago Scuro, who could leave.
Andrea Berta’s Arsenal activity suggests a move away is not close
Berta is building something very special alongside Mikel Arteta in North London and surely would have no interest in leaving any time soon.
The former Atletico Madrid man is also being handed plenty of power at the Emirates, which he might not get elsewhere.
Imagine you are Andrea Berta. Who is your top target for Arsenal in the summer transfer window?
Recently, Berta was given control of the Arsenal academy, which further suggests that he has no plans to leave the club anytime soon.
Berta has already started planning transfers at Arsenal, which again suggests that he is not anticipating a move away in the near future.
