Amina UmarArsenal FC has made a transfer decision regarding Everton star Amadou Onana, according to The Athletic. Despite admiring the Belgian midfielder, Arsenal will not be pursuing a transfer for Onana this summer.
The news comes as Everton faces financial pressures and may need to balance their books by selling high-value players. Onana, Jarrad Branthwaite, Jordan Pickford, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have all been linked to summer transfers away from Goodison Park.However, Everton seems more intent on retaining Pickford, Calvert-Lewin, and Branthwaite, with Onana likely to be the first to depart.
The midfielder has expressed his desire to play for a top European club and will likely use Euro 2024 with Belgium to showcase his skills.Everton has identified potential replacements for Onana, both affordable and expensive options, but any new signings will likely depend on Onana’s departure first.
The transfer of Onana could be crucial in alleviating financial pressure on the club, which was docked points last season for Financial Fair Play breaches.As the transfer window unfolds, Everton fans anxiously await updates on the club’s transfer activity.
With a takeover bid from a Saudi Arabian family and the potential sale of Onana, the Toffees are poised for a significant summer.
Will they be able to retain their key players and build a competitive squad, or will financial pressures force them to make tough decisions? Only time will tell.
