Arsenal are now looking to make some sales after securing moves for Noni Madueke, Viktor Gyokeres and Cristhian Mosquera.
The Gunners have already announced the signings of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard, while the other three players are said to be on the verge of completing their moves to North London.
Attention for Andrea Berta has turned towards sanctioning some departures, with many squad players expected to leave the Emirates in the coming weeks.
Arsenal are looking to sell at least five players, as they attempt to raise funds for one final signing this summer.
Fabio Vieira wants to join Carlos Cuesta at Parma
Fabio Vieira has been labelled a genius by Portuguese media, impressing on loan at Porto last season at times.
That said, the Portuguese midfielder hasn’t done enough to convince Mikel Arteta to make him part of Arsenal’s plans for next campaign, and thus, he’s one Berta is looking to shift.
Porto are unwilling to meet Vieira’s asking price, despite reportedly being interested in securing the player’s services on a permanent basis.
According to the Times, the Gunners have set the 25-year-old’s price at £20 million, and aren’t willing to budge on this fee.
The publication reports that Vieira wants to reunite with former Arsenal coach Carlos Cuesta, who has recently taken over at Parma.
The Serie A boss is understood to have a good relationship with the playmaker from their time in North London together, and there have been reports suggesting that Cuesta wants Vieira in Italy.
That said, it remains to be seen whether Parma will have the financial capacity to stump up the £20 million fee that the Gunners are looking for.
Vieira started just five Premier League games across two seasons under Arteta at Arsenal.
Who else could Carlos Cuesta sign from Arsenal this summer?
Cuesta is embarking on his first managerial journey and will have limited contacts within the game to utilise for player recruitment.
Thus, Arsenal should look to use this to their advantage and leverage their relationship with the young coach to get rid of some players who are surplus to requirements.
Oleksandr Zinchenko has been linked with AC Milan, but he could be one that Cuesta may find an attractive option for Parma.
Meanwhile, Reiss Nelson is another who could thrive in Italy’s top flight and is looking for a new home away from Arsenal.
Leandro Trossard would perhaps be too expensive for the Serie A outfit, although a player of the Belgian’s calibre would certainly appeal to them.
Jakub Kiwior is also being linked with a move to Italy and should be considered by Parma.
