“My understanding…” – Romano’s latest Madueke transfer update is not positive | OneFootball

Chelsea took a huge step closer to selling winger Noni Madueke to Arsenal over the weekend when the likes of Fabrizio Romano revealed that the Gunners had agreed personal terms with the winger.

Now all the remains is for the two clubs to agree a fee – although that may prove harder than it seems. The Gunners are keeping up their interest in Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace to ensure they have at least two options and don’t get bid up.

“Still no club to club contact with Crystal Palace but Arsenal are also preparing an opening bid for Noni Madueke. Arsenal are ready to make a proposal to Chelsea for Noni Madueke at the moment,” Romano said on his live stream yesterday.

“My understanding is that the valuation between the two clubs is quite different. As I told you, still no club contact yet but Arsenal are set to make a first bid. So any moment this proposal can arrive. My understanding is that those at Arsenal value the player at some money and for Chelsea is quite different. So there is still something to understand between the two clubs and let’s see how these conversations will go.”

Personal terms already agreed – fee looks more tricky

While that hardly sounds promising, he was at least able to confirm things are done on the personal side:

“I can confirm what I told you with an exclusive update yesterday that Arsenal have an agreement with Noni Madueke on the contract. It’s a five-year contract. I can add this detail for Madueke. The salary is okay. The commission is okay. Everything is okay for the people involved in the deal for the player for Arsenal. Now the most important part is club to club. And so let’s see how this conversation will go.”
