Valencia Defender’s €18m Move in Limbo Amid Last-Minute Hurdles, Pre-Season Tour in Doubt
Arsenal’s pursuit of Valencia’s promising young defender Cristhian Mosquera has hit an unexpected roadblock, with medical complications delaying the completion of his €18 million transfer, according to club insiders.
The 21-year-old Spaniard, who had rejected a new contract at Valencia, seemed set for a swift move to North London after Arsenal revived talks with an improved offer following RB Leipzig’s failed attempt to sign him. The Gunners had even scheduled his medical for Tuesday, expecting a smooth process before their pre-season tour to Asia.
However, days later, Mosquera remains officially unconfirmed as an Arsenal player. Club sources Team News and Tix and Hand of Arsenal report that unforeseen issues arose during his medical, though the exact nature remains confidential. While the transfer is not in jeopardy, the delay has caused complications with paperwork, potentially jeopardizing Mosquera’s spot on Saturday’s flight to Singapore.
Arsenal remain optimistic that the deal will be finalized in time, but the situation adds an unwelcome layer of uncertainty ahead of their pre-season preparations. Fans will now anxiously await updates, hoping their new defensive reinforcement can still join Mikel Arteta’s squad before the tour kicks off.
