According to CalcioMercato, Juventus and Atletico Madrid are interested in Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka.

We heard last week from Fabrizio Romano that the 20-year-old sensation is attracting interest from elsewhere, and now the Italian outlet claim that Juventus and Atletico Madrid are amongst the clubs keen on Saka.

It’s not all that surprising to hear that Saka is attracting interest from all over Europe. This is a footballer who is good enough to play at the very top level, and after a brilliant Euro 2020 campaign, he will be on the radar of many a football fan across the continent.

Saka is an incredible talent, so it’s understandable that the London club reportedly want at least €50m (£43m) for the winger, but in our view, they have to be holding out for a lot more than that for the England international.

Indeed, at the age of just 20, Saka has at least a decade of top-level football ahead of him, and he’s a player with undoubted qualities, with Trent Alexander-Arnold even going as far as to describe him as ‘fantastic’.

So, will Saka be on the move? Fabrizio Romano reckons he won’t, claiming that the Gunners view him as ‘untouchable’, but as we all know, stranger things have happened in football.

This may be a situation to keep an eye on throughout January and into next summer, especially if Saka impresses in the Premier League.
