Atleti and 6 more clubs launch for Guendouzi

When Matteo Guendouzi jumped onto the AMEX pitch to face Brighton and Hove Albion did not think that his career as a 'gunner' could be living one of his last episodes. His insults during the game to the players of the 'seagulls' in addition to an assault, which went unpunished, Maupay has ended with a start of divorce between the French player, Arteta and Arsenal itself.

His non-call against Southampton just after the mess confirmed that something was wrong and L'Equipe, in its edition this Friday, gives more details about his situation. In addition to everything that happened in Brigthon, the Frenchman has lost prominence with Arteta and wants minutes of play in order to fight to be in the Euro Cup, which had to be held this summer and has been postponed to next year by the coronavirus pandemic.

L'Equipe places seven candidates in the race for Guendouzi. Atlético de Madrid and Inter are the most interested and the best positioned. Juventus and United have shown interest and so has Paris Saint-Germain. Meanwhile, Real Madrid and Barcelona monitor the situation although they are far from the interest of the rojiblancos or the Lombards. Whoever wants to leave London will have to pay 40 million euros, a price close to its market value, which according to Transfermarkt is 40.50 milliona. Signed from Lorient in exchange for 8 million euros, the Poissy midfielder would leave 32 million surplus value in the coffers of North London.

So far this season, Guendouzi has played 34 games counting more for Unai Emery than for Mikel Arteta. He has not scored any goals and has distributed two assists.
