Arsenal and Manchester United are both interested in signing Monaco and France striker Wissam Ben Yedder, 29. (L'Equipe - in French)

Arsenal will have to pay Real Madrid 50m euros (£44m) if they want to sign on-loan Spain midfielder Dani Ceballos, 23, on a permanent deal. (AS - in Spanish)

Arsenal are struggling to tie 18-year-old English winger Bukayo Saka down to a new contract with other Premier League clubs interested. (90min)"

Losing Auba for £30m would be pretty grim, rising to unbearable if it was another English club, only Arsenal would find themselves in this situation

But losing Saka would be even worse

As for the rest, i'd like to keep Ceballos though £44m in the current climate seems a lot

And i don't know about Yedder but if Moan U are in for him i don't fancy our chances much, they can outbid us any day of the week
Reports yesterday were saying Saka is finalising the details before signing a new contract. So the media is probably getting in the last few clickbait BS hits before that happens. Also, this morning, news that Auba will stay. Don't know if that means he'll sign a contract. Possibly where these latest rumours about a cut-price sale are coming from.

I'd also think the clubs, players and agents are keeping things extremely tight at a time when all this money sloshing around might seem vulgar. So where the media is getting this information from I'm not sure, probably a dark place full of brown stuff (as usual).
