Transfers October 7, 2016Despite the winter transfer window not being even remotely ajar as yet, the media are still going strong, linking us to several players this week, the latest being a report in The Mirror now claiming that Goncalo Guedes is wanted by Arsenal.
They also report that Manchester United are showing a keen interest in landing the 19-year-old ace.
It’s believed that Guedes has a 50m Euro buy-out clause in his current contract which will expire in 2021, and either of the aforementioned clubs will have to trigger this mammoth clause to complete the signing of the Guedes.
