Practically every major European team are planning on bolstering their midfield ranks in the summer transfer window. Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are each hoping to acquire at least two new recruits in the middle of the park, while Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are all working hard to improve their first-team engine room choices with a marquee midfield addition.
To put it lightly several midfielders will be on the move this summer. In terms of Premier League departures, Declan Rice, Mason Mount, Granit Xhaka, Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister are just a few players expected to leave their respective clubs this summer.
With Arsenal looking to sign two new central midfielders, every player mentioned above, of course minus Xhaka, has been linked with Arsenal. football.london understands that Rice is the priority, while Caicedo was the recipient of two January offers from north London, both of which were rejected.
