Gunners push for deal with Corinthians despite otherwise quiet window, aiming to fend off European and domestic interest.
Arsenal have reportedly opened talks with Brazilian club Corinthians over a move for highly-rated 20-year-old midfielder Breno Bidon, signaling a potential January move even as the club plans for a quiet winter window.
According to reports from TNT Sports in Brazil, Arsenal have made initial contact to explore a deal for Bidon, who has already made over 100 first-team appearances. While no formal offer has been tabled, the Gunners are keen to bring the talented youngster to North London following a string of impressive performances.
This specific pursuit comes amid a broader strategy of restraint. Despite being linked with moves for Newcastle’s Valentino Livramento and Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi, the club is largely expected to avoid major January activity. The priority is maintaining squad harmony during their tight Premier League title race, the first they’ve seriously contested in nearly two decades.
Further underscoring the quiet window, rumors of a Gabriel Jesus departure have faded, and the club has no intention of letting defender Ben White leave despite interest from Everton. A move for RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande is also postponed until summer.
However, Arsenal see an opportunity in Bidon that warrants immediate action. They face competition for his signature, with Brazilian giants Flamengo considering a bid and several unnamed clubs in Italy and Portugal also monitoring the situation. The move reflects Mikel Arteta’s and Sporting Director Edu’s continued vision to build a young, dominant squad for the long term, even after last summer’s massive €294.6 million investment.
