What we know
Arsenal are targeting RB Leipzig left winger Antonio Nusa for the January window, with several outlets reporting concrete interest. His contract at Leipzig runs to June 2029, and while he remains unfazed by the links, the club’s valuation is a sticking point.
Arsenal are said to value him at around €55m, while Leipzig hold out for €70m, per Fichajes.net and others. The story began on 6 Oct, when CaughtOffside reported Arsenal’s renewed interest after a summer approach; four outlets carried the claim that day. three more outlets, including GiveMeSport and Sports Mole, echoed the same interest. By 29 Oct, TuttoMercatoWeb and two others picked up the story, with Sport Witness adding that enquiries had been made. On 30 Oct, Sports Mole and CaughtOffside, alongside Football Talk, reported the same valuation gap, attributing the detail to TuttoMercatoWeb and Sport Witness. Only Yahoo Sports, on 23 Sep, quotes Nusa saying a move is “not on his mind.
No source confirms a formal offer has been made; Fichajes.net and fussball-news.de both note the price discrepancy as unresolved.
