2025 Summer Transfer Rumors and Discussion Closed Window

Would be foolish of Arsenal to pay 50m for a CB no matter the potential. Bigger needs elsewhere. Only way i see it is if they were to sell Kiwior.
I don’t think Huijsen is going anywhere where he is going to be backup so I don’t think Kiwior is relevant here. LFC want him, but LFC also might be selling Konate (these two things may be linked) which would open a starting spot for Huijsen.

Would I be fair in saying that Arsenal are less likely to sell Saliba and/or Gabriel than LFC would be to sell Konate? Would just think that Arsenal would be a bad move for Huijsen if he is coming in 3rd choice (which is nothing against Arsenal).

If Chelsea AND Newcastle are both in UCL they’ll be able to give him the Saudi bucks and their 1CB role. Don’t think he goes to either if no UCL.

LFC would probably tell him he is 2CB day one and he gets the keys in two years when Virgil’s extension is done. I think LFC would sell Konate if they 100% knew they were getting Huijsen, but again a couple of dominos would have to fall first

Pretty much that yeah. Arsenal might sell Saliba if Real comes with a bid in the region of 100m. That won’t happen though. All things considered it makes much more sense for both club and player if he goes to Liverpool. Arsenal should only go after midfielders and offensive players in the summer. And a backup GK.

I just cant see Madrid not ponying up the dough for him, he loves spain and wouldnt say no. He'll if IM barca id sell Aruajo and grab him where he can rotate with Martinez.

I mean he’s got a release clause of 50m. I think it’s very unlikely you aren’t getting good ROI on that

Yeah I mean I am obviously biased, but LFC is probably the best spot for him if the sell Konate. But it’s going to be extremely competitive, and they probably won’t pay the most wages.

I could see it if they get rid of Kiwior, Tomiyasu, Tierney, and Zinchenko. I think it's more likely we go after someone like Hato, but Huisjen's ability to play either side of the CB pairing means that he could serve as the chief backup for both Saliba and Gabriel while Calafiori on the left and Timber/White on the right would also provide cover. It would allow for a little more rotation of the CBs in cup games. Basically the depth chart would be:

RB:
Timber/White
White/Timber

RCB:
Saliba
Huisjen
White/Timber

LCB:
Gabriel
Huisjen
Calafiori

LB:
MLS
Calafiori

I think it would have to be well above 100m for Arsenal to consider selling.

It’s not bias. I don’t see the need for my club. With that said it might be other clubs who are better suited for the player but i’m not fully aware which clubs that would be. Probably Real yeah.

I have thought a lot about the idea to sign a LB (Hato might be a good choice) and move MLS to midfield. Very excited to see what he can do from there. And then we would probably ”only” need Zubimendi in.

Probably. And not even Real are gonna pay that for a CB. Better sign him up though.

Yeah but after being one of the best half dozen CBs in the league, I just don’t think Huijsen is going to take a backup job, especially if he stays in England. Maybe he does in Madrid, but if he stays in PL it would be extremely backwards for him to do so

I don't really see the upside in that, to be honest. He's already playing in those areas and Rice has the left side locked down.

He kinda does but wouldn’t it be nice to have the luxury to rotate Rice a bit more often? He can still play mostly at LB.
 
I feel like Huijsen only makes sense for Arsenal if something materializes with Gabriel to Saudi, but those rumors haven't been picked up again for a while. Otherwise, I think we just replace the outgoing LB depth and spend on Zubimendi, a winger, a striker, and backup GK.

Not pictured, but Hojlund was that window as well.

Obviously still relatively early, but one has to wonder just how high this ranks on worst windows of all time
It is pictured if you click the link. The picture is smaller in the preview.
 
Everyone (rightfully) wants Huijsen



Madrid will make themselves known here too. Whoever pays the release and starts doing the ground work is going to have the advantage here.

I have a weird feeling LFC are going to sell Konate and try to replace him with Huijsen; (and it’s not going to work) but we will see how that shakes out. It’s going to be ultra competitive.

Yeah, not sure why Arsenal would be willing to go in for Huijsen, I'd rather pass, especially at 50 million. It is from Ornstein, so there is some truth in it. I do think this could be a very Arteta type of move, he loves CBs and CMs with no true outsiding offensive ability,


- Inter is close to signing David on a 5-year, 10 million dollar contract.

- West Ham is going after Ramsdale for around 20 million pounds.

- Chelsea potentially looking at a 120 million Euro move for Rodrygo, a ton of rumours about having to fight for playing time with Junior.

- There are some links of Saliba to Real Madrid, but all of them are trash tiers.

- Napoli chasing Lookman, Garnacho, and Sudakov.

- Thomas Muller might be going to Fenerbahce.

- Some soft reports of Arsenal wanting Lautaro.

- Man City wanting to buy Gibbs-White to replace de Bruyne.

- Jamie Gittens is on his way out in the summer, EPL clubs are interested.

- Werner is not returning to Spurs next season.

- Juve is triggering Kalulu's loan to a permanent move.

- Liverpool is going after Osimhen.

- Man Divided joined Chelsea to get Delap in the summer.

- Gyokeres has a 100 million Euro release clause, but Sporting have indicated that they will take 70 million for him.

- Rudiger staying at Real Madrid, even with interest from Saudi Arabia.

Arsenal love spending money and collecting talent. Huijsen is great, I just think that’s a terrible spot for him to go.

That’s a very good very sensible spot for him
- Man City wanting to buy Gibbs-White to replace de Bruyne.
A lot of teams looking MGW; Forest will probably be UCL. I am a fan but will cost a lot and has some Grealish potential
- Jamie Gittens is on his way out in the summer, EPL clubs are interested.
Diet version of Nico Williams.
- Werner is not returning to Spurs next season.
Supposedly he’s going to MLS. Which is kind of crazy
- Liverpool is going after Osimhen
Haven’t seen this anywhere

You say that like we're Chelsea...

I agree that it's not the best move for Huijsen and it doesn't even make much sense for Arsenal unless someone is sold. But our lineup has basically been taped and bandaged together all season, so it's pretty hard to say we're just collecting talent.
