Marseille’s most recent offer for Nketiah stands at £16.8 million, a figure that aligns closely with their previous proposal. However, this latest bid reflects a payment structure that is more in line with what Arsenal is seeking for the talented striker. Despite the similarity in value, the Gunners are expected to push back on the offer, citing that it falls short of the price tag they have set for Nketiah.
Nketiah has been a prominent figure for Arsenal, amassing 168 appearances across all competitions and scoring 38 goals. His impressive performances on the pitch have even led to comparisons with Arsenal icon Thierry Henry. In addition, Nketiah lifted the FA Cup in 2020, further solidifying his impact at the club.
The pursuit of Nketiah has intensified with Marseille’s new manager, Roberto De Zerbi, looking to bolster his attacking options. The French club recently secured the services of Mason Greenwood from Manchester United in a bid to add more firepower up front. Now, Marseille have set their sights on Nketiah, hoping to secure a deal for the promising young striker.
In the midst of ongoing negotiations, Arsenal find themselves at a critical juncture as they navigate through Marseille’s latest offer. As discussions progress, it remains to be seen whether a deal can be reached that satisfies both parties and paves the way for Nketiah’s potential move to Marseille.
