The Brazilian is set to be valued in an excess £60 million but a swap deal may be possible. Matteo Guendouzi has been on the headlines for his uncertain future at the Emirates stadium and his antics at the Brighton game. Since then, he has been dropped 8 times and which is why it is fair to believe that he is no more favored by Arteta and could very well fill the other end of this potential swap deal.
Guendouzi could well be the perfect replacement for Busquets with the Blaugranes having decided that they want to get rid of the promising player in Todibo. The 21-year-old still has a bright future ahead of him and remains one of the top prospects in European football. Barcelona shouldn’t shy away from this deal.
Having said that, however, the Blaugranes must consider the fact that they need a financial boost themselves if they are to land Lautaro Martinez or Neymar and hence should try to extract a minimum of £18 million from the Gunners in addition to the player. This may take time though as Arteta has been given clear instructions that he must sell before he makes any buys in the transfer market.
For long Coutinho has been linked to a move back to the Premier League with his manager revealing his desire to play in the Premier League once more, several times. The likes of Chelsea, Leicester, New Castle, and Spurs are also said to be interested in the 28-year-old but for now, Barca must take the proposition of the Gunners seriously.
