Berta tasked with generating Arsenal sales this summer
- Published
Andrea Berta, Arsenal's sporting director, has been tasked with ensuring the club are active sellers this summer in addition to strengthening the squad.
The Italian - and his assistant Maurizio Michele - have strong relationships in Turkey and are using those connections to deliver sales this summer.
Forward Leandro Trossard left for Besiktas in a deal worth up to £17m.
So far, Arsenal are set to raise in the region of £45m for the sales of Trossard, Jakub Kiwior, Christian Norgaard and Karl Hein.
Arsenal are currently in talks with West Ham over selling winger Reiss Nelson, which could net the Gunners about £3m if he leaves on a permanent deal.
Striker Gabriel Jesus and Fabio Vieira can also leave the club, while fellow midfielder Martin Zubimendi is attracting interest from Spain.
