They probably started low because Arsenal themselves have put him on the market. I'm pretty sure that Arsenal will reject that and ask for way more.

Have you got the full quote anywhere? All I've seen is a couple different tweets saying exactly this.
How do they have the money to pay his salary? I mean it’s not Ronaldo money but it’s still around 15m a year isn’t it?
More info on the Juve-Suarez links:
It appears that Juve are still waiting on Roma to resolve their Under-Milik swap. If that goes through, then they would go in for Dzeko as well. Looks like Suarez is the alternative if they can't get Dzeko from Roma.

They get a tax relief from Italy whenever they players from outside of Italy. That helps them pay the higher salaries. With Matuidi, Khedira, and Higuain all gone, they've freed up quite a bit of the wages already.
I would think so. We played Chelsea in a friendly a couple of days ago and he started in a back three with Dunk and Webster, but who knows how Potter will line up against them on the opening day, but I’d bet my house White will be there!
Arsenal signing Aouar or Partey would be annoying. A really good midfielder, combined with two promising centre backs and Willian suddenly turns them into a bit of a team. All the more reason for us to get our arses in gear!

Him leaving would basically commit Roma to Smalling.
Would be excellent signings - I doubt they pull it off to be honest.
A club laying people off to save money doesn’t really scream ‘spend £150m’. Plus Aubameyang will get massive wages.
I'd take one more year of Xhaka-Ceballos to get Aouar. Partey is way more likely though.They will probably say that they tried but we'll be too short on cash.
They are already doing pretty well under Arteta.
Looks like Schalke aren't alone when it comes to getting Kolasinac.

Napoli are getting in touch with Sokratis to have him join them from Arsenal.

I feel Barca played themselves by announcing the big clearance of aged players, now they don't have any power in negotiations. Raktic was sold for 1.50M, Suarez to follow
Chelsea certainly aren’t mucking about. Some fecking window they’ve had so far and there is still over 30 days to go.
Ziyech
Werner
Chilwell
Silva
Havertz
If they add a GK then it’s virtually the perfect window.
Just hope for ourselves after securing Van De Beek that we start getting a few deals over the line now
Malang Sarr as well who looks a very good defender.
He's apparently going on loan to Leverkusen as part of the Havertz deal. Should be a great place for him.
I’m surprised they are sending him out on loan to be honest.
Silva is obviously a decent signing but still with an element of risk due to his age and faster league.
It would still mean Rudiger and Christensen would get a lot of game time I would imagine. I would have thought Sarr would be someone who is needed here and now.

Still seems a bit bizarre but it's great for the league to attract players like that even when their game isn't what it used to be. Everton will probably make a lot off shirt sales alone.
Gonzalo Higuain might be joining his brother in MLS at Inter Miami (his brother plays for DC United).

I understand Barca have some financial issues but he's one the should be keeping.
Know this is a long way off yet but if you can only get one of Sancho/Upamecano in this window which one would it be?
Sancho. Upamecano could be an amazing long term transfer, but he could struggle in his first season to adapt. Sancho can deliver from day 1
Get a 120M RW or a 60M CB, I dont think its even a debate is it?
Yeah... but Sancho is a once in generation talent proven across seasons with a spotless injury record. Also he's 21 and English.
The world will always find good CBs and last season, the defence was one of the best in the league despite looking vulnerable at times. Better to buyout Upamecano next season when the price drops than with Sancho who may never sign for us again with mega rich clubs recovering their finances.
Clearly it is. After all you’re in on a forum.
Not a tweet but an article in The Athletic by Laurie W:

Could we start playing Bruno as a forward?
Rashford Martial Bruno
Pogba Thiago VDB
Shaw Maguire Upamecano AWB
De Gae
Does this work?
I would say no personally. I’m not sure Bruno has ever played as a winger. I think we are most dangerous with pace on the wing, which isn’t Bruno’s best attribute. I also think defensively Thiago would get found out in the Premier League as the DM. Maybe I’m underestimating him defensively but the games I’ve seen he’s an all round midfielder, akin to Pogba, who floats between defence and attack.
With the current players we have it’s Greenwood on RW, midfield of Bruno or VdB, Pogba or Thiago, Matic or Fred.
Then it falls back to injuries. Our big weakness remains RW. Daniel James hasn’t shown enough to step up.
Expecting a lot from AWB to improve massively in the final 3rd
Premier League looking stacked.
You’re right.
Right wing has been and still is a big problem for us. We lucked out with Mason because he’s such a good player and has footballing maturity beyond his years, but we risk burning him out by not having adequate cover. With Sancho, we have a high chance of fixing this right wing problem for a long time (fingers crossed), which also affords Mason game time as he can play across the front three with no foreseeable issues.
Upamecano will, no doubt, have loads of suitors when his clause kicks in. However, there are a fair bit more young central defensive prospects whom are available. Just look at the generation of top young defenders that France has.
Whilst I’m not convinced with both Maguire and Lindelof, I think our right wing is in need of urgent fix, as compared to central defence.
Of course, the ideal scenario in the perfect world would be for us to buy Sancho this window, and somehow secure Upamecano when his clause kicks in. Pretty sure the latter would involve some illegal activity so very unlikely.
How did Liverpool deal with Naby Keita? I did not follow it too closely, but I have the impression that they triggered his release clause as well as an additional fee to buy him early?
What a horrible way to present stats.I think you are
Inter signing Kolarov and Vidal, Juve after Dzeko... Players on high wages who won't make them more competitive in Europe and will be replaced after two years anyway.
Inter is the most wasteful team in years in the transfer market. Their model ain’t sustainable at all.
