€50 La Liga gem attracting serious attention as Arsenal weigh summer move
Arsenal remain interested in signing the Real Madrid defender Victor Valdepenas at the end of the season, and they will face competition from AC Milan.
The 19-year-old is highly rated in Spain and has a bright future ahead of him. He has impressed with his opportunities for Real Madrid, and Arsenal continue to monitor him ahead of the summer transfer window.
Arsenal want Victor Valdepenas
According to Spanish publication AS, they are in the running to secure his signature, and it remains to be seen whether they follow up on their interest with an official offer in the summer. The player could cost around €50 million, and Arsenal certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done.
However, they have multiple quality defenders at their disposal, and it would be quite surprising if they decided to invest in the 19-year-old. There is no doubt he is a talented player with a bright future, but they might not be able to offer him regular opportunities.
Valdepenas needs to play regularly
Valdepenas needs regular opportunities at this stage of his career in order to improve further and fulfil his potential. Joining a big club only to sit on the bench would be detrimental to his development. The move might not be ideal for the young defender either.
Also, Real Madrid will not want to lose a talented player like him anytime soon. A move to Arsenal in the summer seems complicated for now.
On the other hand, AC Milan could represent an exciting opportunity for the young defender. They will be able to provide him with regular gametime, and they have an excellent track record of nurturing young players.
