Valencia turn down 'unworthy' Arsenal offer for defender Cristhian Mosquera as La Liga side hold out for €25m for talented youngster

Marseille

<p>Arsenal are attempting to get a deal done for Valencia's Mosquera, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-bid-defender-coming-hours-move-closer/bltffe9a1dc59423753#csf77417a3d5cbad8e" target="_blank">personal terms already agreed with the Spain Under-21 international</a>. They have already had a €15 million (£12.9 million/$17.6 million) offer rejected by the La Liga side, who are thought to be holding out for €25 million even though the defender's contract expires next year.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Mosquera is keen on making the move to Arsenal but <a href="https://plazadeportiva.valenciaplaza.com/plazadeportiva/valenciacf/el-valencia-cf-abre-la-carpeta-de-centrales-en-el-mercado" target="_blank"><em>Plaza Deportiva</em></a> say Valencia are yet to be presented with an offer they feel suits their valuation. Negotiations are now said to be on hold, with the Spanish club not interested in dealing with low-ball offers for one of their most important players.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Arsenal were hit hard by injuries throughout the 2024-25 season, derailing their Premier League title challenge as they finished runners-up behind champions Liverpool. First choice centre-back duo William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes both missed the end of the campaign and a fresh arrival would help bolster Mikel Arteta's options if fitness issues crop up again next term.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>While Mosquera waits for some movement in his transfer saga, Arsenal have been getting to work elsewhere. Spain international Martin Zubimendi has arrived from Real Sociedad, while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-transfer-brentford-denmark-midfielder-christian-norgaard-medical-completed/blt580ebb5242a6a988" target="_blank">Christian Norgaard's move from Brentford is expected to be announced later this week</a>.</p>
