I did all in my power to persuade him to sign with Manchester City, but in the end, he decided to sign with Liverpool. As the saying goes, “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.” Rodri, a star for Man City, has stated that his £40 million Spanish teammate has committed to joining Liverpool FC in January rather than Manchester City

Reports say that Arsenal is sending scouts to Girona to check out left back Miguel Gutierrez, who is 22 years old and made his Real Madrid debut in 2021. Since then, the Gunners have kept an eye on him. This past few weeks, Arsenal sent scouts to watch Gutierrez, who is under contract with Girona until 2027.

Gutierrez was born in 2001 and joined Girona for four million euros in 2022 after making it through Real Madrid’s youth programme. Real Madrid could lose other defenders if they go after Gutierrez, even though they have a 50% sell-on option. Girona might want to keep him until the summer, but a big deal in January could make them change their minds.

After Carney went on loan to Real Sociedad in the summer, Arsenal began looking for a new left back. Nuno Tavares went to Nottingham Forest on loan, so Oleksandr Zinchenko is the only left back who is sure to play. Tavares has done very well in the French league with Olympique de Marseille, but the team has improved its defensive choices.

Scouts are interested in Gutierrez because of how well he has played, which has helped Girona surprise everyone by rising to the top of La Liga. He played in 12 games across all competitions and had one goal, showing that he was good at both offence and defence. Gutierrez played 46 times for Girona and is highly regarded by Arsenal because of how well he plays.

Gutierrez is one of the best reverse full-backs in Europe, and his ability to switch between attack and defence is in line with Mikel Arteta’s plan. Because he can do many things, he is very important to Arsenal. Scouts are keeping a close eye on his progress, and Girona’s decision to let him go in January could make or break a possible move to Arsenal.
