Arsenal needed to ensure that they had a strong transfer window, but despite the big early spending on the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Fabio Vieira, Marquinhos and Matt Turner, the club do not have unlimited money. There will be a figure that the club need to abide by to get all their business done.
Arsenal have approached all their transfer endeavours this summer in a similar way. Bidding negotiations have been ongoing throughout the window for a number of targets.
Arsenal were able to get Gabriel Jesus for less than what Manchester City originally desired, and also Fabio Vieira arrived for less than the release clause Porto would have wanted to be paid. However, players such as Raphinha and Lisandro Martinez have priced Arsenal out of moves, with Barcelona and Manchester United seemingly willing to pay more.
