According to talkSPORT reporter Jacobs Ben, Arsenal will try to offer Chelsea to £40 million to £45 million, hoping to sign Maduaike.
JacobsBen said that Chelsea hopes that Maduaike's transfer will be more than £55 million, and cited the case of Ilanga's transfer to Newcastle as a reference. And Chelsea sources have made it clear that Maduaike's transfer fee (including additional terms) can be started with at least "5".
Although there is a big gap in player valuation between Arsenal and Chelsea, the two clubs have a good relationship. As of this morning, no new formal offer has been proposed, and both parties are still discussing the total transfer price.
David Ornstein previously reported that Arsenal has officially started negotiations with Chelsea on a transfer for Maduaike, and the player has agreed to sign a five-year contract.
