CaughtOffside reported on Friday, citing sources, that Mosquera has rejected Valencia’s contract offer, signaling his intent to take the next step in his career with a move to the Premier League—specifically to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
The report adds that Mosquera has already agreed to personal terms with Arsenal, giving the Gunners a clear advantage in completing the deal.
Arsenal’s reported proposal includes a significantly higher salary than Valencia’s €3 million-per-year offer, along with the chance to play Champions League football and compete for major trophies.
With Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba firmly established as starters, the Gunners are looking to add depth in central defense to meet the demands of both the Premier League and Champions League next season.
