Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing the Palmeiras defender Luiz Benedetti during the summer transfer window.
According to journalists Diego Firmino and Felipe Lemos, the player will cost €15 million this summer, and Arsenal have offered €10 million. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal come back with an improved offer for the 19-year-old defender.
Luiz Benedetti would be a future investment
He is highly rated in South America, and he could prove to be an excellent long-term investment for the north London outfit. Arsenal have done well to groom talented young players over the years, and they could help Benedetti fulfil his tremendous potential as well.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for the 19-year-old, and it would be a huge step up for him. Although he might not be a regular starter for Arsenal, he could still be a useful player for them in the short term. The 19-year-old could develop into an important first-team player for them in future.
The reported asking price seems reasonable for a player of his potential, and he could justify the investment in the long run. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal decide to improve their offer by €5 million to get the deal done. There is no doubt that they have the resources to complete the transfer.
