Arsenal are reportedly in negotiations to offload two first-team players this summer as Mikel Arteta aims to refine his squad. The potential departures could generate £40 million, which would further fuel Arsenal’s aggressive transfer strategy.
Arsenal have been active in the transfer market as they strive to assemble a squad capable of challenging for major honors. Under Arteta, the Gunners have already invested significantly in new talent and are expected to continue strengthening the team. Key signings have been made to bolster various positions.

However, amidst the arrivals, Arsenal are actively working to reduce the size of their squad. Several fringe players, including Oleksandr Zinchenko, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Fabio Vieira, and Reiss Nelson, are potentially on their way out. This clearout is intended to balance the books and provide opportunities for emerging talents.
Arsenal are reportedly seeking £20 million for Fabio Vieira. The 25-year-old midfielder is attracting interest from Parma, managed by former Arsenal assistant coach Carlos Cuesta. Vieira’s playing time at Arsenal has been limited, making a move potentially beneficial for his career.
Vieira joined Arsenal from FC Porto in 2022. He struggled to secure a consistent role under Arteta. In contrast, a loan spell back at Porto saw him regain form. However, Porto did not pursue a permanent deal.

Meanwhile, Reiss Nelson is also potentially nearing an exit. The 25-year-old winger is in discussions with Fulham about a possible loan move. His previous loan spell at Craven Cottage was hampered by injuries. Despite still being under contract with Arsenal, Fulham are interested in another loan deal.
Nelson faces increased competition for playing time at Arsenal. As a result, a temporary move could provide him with a fresh start and a chance to reignite his career. Fulham are willing to offer him that opportunity.
Arsenal’s broader strategy involves balancing the books while remaining competitive in the transfer market. The potential sales of Vieira and Nelson align with this goal. The club is actively pursuing players like Viktor Gyökeres, Noni Madueke, and Cristhian Mosquera, signaling their ambition to compete on all fronts.
Arsenal are expected to announce another signing this summer. They have reportedly reached an agreement for a player. They beat Liverpool to the deal, signaling their intent.

This comes amid ongoing speculation about Arsenal’s potential deal for Viktor Gyökeres. Sporting CP fans have expressed their opinions on the matter, but Arsenal’s interest remains strong.
Arsenal’s focus now shifts to finalizing outgoings and securing key targets. The club aims to build a squad capable of challenging for major trophies. The next few weeks will be crucial in shaping Arsenal’s squad for the upcoming season. With the new season fast approaching, expect more movement from the Gunners.
