Arsenal has reportedly submitted a £22 million bid for Getafe striker Borja Mayoral as Mikel Arteta seeks to bolster his attacking options. Mayoral, a product of Real Madrid’s academy, has been in impressive form in La Liga alongside Mason Greenwood. While Ivan Toney was initially Arteta’s preferred choice, Brentford’s steep £100 million asking price has led Arsenal to explore other options.
Getafe, however, has rejected the Gunners’ initial £22 million offer, holding out for a fee closer to £39 million. The 26-year-old striker, who completed a permanent move to Getafe in 2022 after an initial loan spell, has been a standout performer with 12 league goals this season. Arsenal has been monitoring Mayoral since November, recognizing his potential to address their goal-scoring concerns.
The striker’s partnership with Greenwood has been pivotal for Getafe, propelling them to eighth in the La Liga table. Mayoral, who previously attracted interest from Crystal Palace, could now provide a solution to Arsenal’s attacking challenges.
