As the transfer market starts to heat up, Arsenal have been told that it will take a world-record transfer bid to land one of their targets for the summer window, according to TeamTalk.
The Gunners are looking to bolster their ranks after a successful campaign, which saw the side finally land the Premier League trophy after 22-years of waiting.
The plan is to keep moving from strength to strength, landing more titles and trophies to cement a place at the very top in England and in Europe.
While Mikel Arteta may be looking to add some options to the Arsenal forward line, there are also links with a few defenders who could move to the Emirates Stadium this summer.
Tino Livramento To Arsenal Transfer

A potential area for improvement at Arsenal could come at right-back, as injuries have complicated the campaign for both Jurrien Timber and Ben White, which has forced Cristhian Mosquera to fill in at an unorthodox position.
Several links have emerged, including interest in Newcastle star Tino Livramento, as TeamTalk reports that the defender is a target for the Gunners.
However, even though the North London club remain huge admirers of the star, along with rivals Manchester City, there is a stumbling block in proceedings.
That comes from the valuation that Newcastle have set for the 23-year-old, as the North-East outfit have discussed figures that would smash the world-record fee for a right-back, which was Achraf Hakimi's move to PSG for £58 million back in 2021.
It sets a clear barometer for both Arsenal and Man City to judge any figures for a deal on, outlining whether a deal would have value to the side or not.
Both sides have key decisions to make before any sort of offer can be made, but doubts remain over the valuation set on the defender for this summer.

Livramento Transfer Doubts

Any move for Livramento is likely to come at a price, even if his current contract with Newcastle only has two years remaining on it, meaning that there has to be a balance in finding the right deal for the player.
The right-back is clearly a quality player, who has been described as "phenomenal" for his performances in the Premier League in recent seasons.
Those displays, combined with his age profile, certainly suggests he could get even better, but the issues surrounding his fitness may be of greater concern to teams.
The 23-year-old has suffered from four separate injuries over the 2025/26 campaign, which included problems with his knee, hamstring, and thighs.

That has seen the star miss over 30 games in all competitions, as per Transfermarkt, a large chunk of time that is tough to replace in the team.
Given the injury issues Arsenal have already faced with White and Timber, perhaps an expensive deal to sign Livramento with his injury history may be a risky move.
