Real Madrid is perhaps the biggest threat to every club in Europe with a valuable possession with less than two years left on their contract. Los Blancos has made the club policy to sign top players as free agents in recent years, something they have done successfully.
No wonder it was news for Arsenal at the time, which Los Blancos had been impressed by BreakOut left back Myles Lewis-Skelly. Real Madrid has implemented this policy with people like Trent Alexander-Arnold, even if he finally finished for a small fee, David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger, while attempting to sign Alphonso Davies. Lewis-Skelly, however, only has a year about his deal, and Arsenal will be desperate to complete a new contract.
That is why it will be a relief for fans of the Gunners to hear that Arsenal is finally doing some ground in conversations with Lewis-Skelly, after months without movement. Outside caught saying that sports director Andrea Berta has opened conversations, and Arsenal is supposedly relaxing about the situation.
Earlier in the season, Real Madrid Scouts also watched admiringly while Ethan Nwaneri scored a brilliant goal against Girona in the Champions League group phase. He is another player where Arsenal is working on a deal, but it seems that in that case Berta also started to make.
The good news for Arsenal is that Los Blancos also make movements for players in the same positions as Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri this summer. Benfica Left Back Alvaro Carreras is their top choice on the left, while 17-year-old Argentinian Sterret Franco Mastantuono seems to be the next wonder that they will try to sign. When those players arrive, movements for both Arsenal duo become less clear.
