Arsenal still has to play the last few months of the 2024/25 season, but plans seem to be already present for the next campaign and specifically the summer transfer window
Arsenal has so far enjoyed an excellent season 2024/25 – and it can get even better. The Gunners probably seem to finish second in the Premier League table, while they have also protected a place in the semi-final of the Champions League.
The men of Mikel Arteta handed down to a 3-0 win in the first legs against Real Madrid in the previous round before he had done the job in the Bernabeu last night. Bukayo Saka picked himself up from missing a penalty to lead Arsenal in the night with a brilliant finish.
Real Madrid was leveled through Vinicius JR, but Gabriel Martinelli scored in a stop time to set up a last four collision with Paris Saint-Germain.
Although there is still some work to do between now and the end of the campaign, plans are already being set up for next season. Arsenal could look potential to spend heavy, because they finally want to win the Premier League title.
A large number of names are linked to movements on the Emirates. That said, here are all the newest heads of the Emirates Stadium.
UEFA has clarified exactly why Real Madrid had canceled a penalty versus Arsenal. The Spanish side thought they had a golden chance to reduce their shortage against the Gunners when Kylian Mbappe fell under the challenge of Declan Rice.
Referee Francois Letexier gave the penalty on pitch and booked rice. But he made the decision when assessing, where UEFA issued a mid-game statement to explain.
It said: “No penalty – no mistake. Arsenal's player no. 41 [Rice] Did not make any mistake on the opponent. “Rice also spoke about the incident that came the last whistle.

Arsenal -defender William Saliba has been told to forget a move to Real Madrid and instead to concentrate on a success with his current club. Speaking with Standard Sport, Emmanuel Petit of ex-Gunners said: “If he goes to Real Madrid, it's a different story.
“It is the same with Trent Alexander-Arnold. It is one thing that plays with Liverpool, where you have been loved from the fans for so long and has won many trophies, but it is a different story if you go to Real Madrid.
“I experienced that. When I left Arsenal, I was loved by the fans. When I went to Barcelona, ​​it was an empty page, a new story that I had to write. I had to forget what I had done in the past and to deliver with a new club.
“It will be the same with Saliba. I can understand that it can be a dream for a player to sign for the best club in the world. But the grass is not really greener outside.”
From one Frenchman to the other, Arsenal will be forced to fire even more if they visit their interest in Borussia Dortmund star Serhou Guirassy again. Arteta's side looked forward to him earlier last year when he was available for just £ 14 million.
But his asking price has been smelled according to Sport Bild. It is suggested that his release clause is now approximately € 70 million (£ 60 million).
Guirassy is currently the top scorer in the Champions League with 13 goals after a hat trick against Barcelona. He is under contract until 2028.
