Real Madrid and Barcelona are interested in signing Maximus Polek, an Arsenal player.

Real Madrid is currently going through a transitional period as they assemble their team for years to come. All throughout the field, the team is full of elite skill.

Up front, though, is one of the final pieces of the puzzle that is missing. After leaving at the end of the previous season, Karim Benzema was not fully replaced in the long run.

Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo are expected to be the wingers of the future.

However, there has been discussion regarding who will be their top partner going forward for years to come ever since Benzema left.

Is it one of their international teammates from Brazil?

Among the players reported as possible striker targets for Real Madrid are Julian Alvarez, Erling Haaland, and Kylian Mbappe. Over the previous year or two, the club has been associated with several of the same names.

But fans might be interested in this other name that has lately surfaced in the rumour mill.

According to AS, Real Madrid and Barcelona have previously been connected to Gabriel Jesus, and they are still keeping a close eye on his development.

Real Madrid and Barcelona want to sign Arsenal player

Jesus has not been linked with a move to Real Madrid lately.

It has been rumoured that Carlo Ancelotti was keen on a move for the Brazilian international last summer however a move did not materialise, and he made the switch from Manchester City to Arsenal instead.

The Brazilian has so far had a difficult time adjusting to life at Arsenal. The striker has frequently been sidelined by injuries, and he has never seemed to return to his usual goal-scoring ways.

Jesus has only managed one goal this season in the Premier League. Nonetheless, he has scored three goals in as many Champions League outings.

Jesus was reportedly signed by Arsenal for a transfer cost of about €50 million only the previous summer, so they would probably want to get at least that much in return for him.

It is unclear if Real Madrid will pursue the Brazilian international attacker in the end.

Terrific’: Mikel Arteta absolutely delighted with Arsenal 24-year-old this season

Mikel Arteta has been giving his press conference ahead of this weekend’s clash with Sheffield United at The Emirates.

The Gunners welcome the winless Blades looking to put another three points on the board and pile further misery on the Yorkshire outfit.

Of course, Arteta will have some selection decisions to make given the opposition and they play in the cup next week.

One man who will be starting though is Declan Rice. And Arteta has admitted to being delighted by his new signing.

Declan Rice impressing Mikel Arteta

Speaking in his official presser today, Arteta had kind words for a number of his players. And on Rice, he believes his new man is playing at the highest level.

“He’s been terrific for us and I think he has performed at the highest level, especially in big games.

That’s when you want to see your big players and he has to step out there and his contribution in these games has been really important, so I’m really pleased,” Arteta said.

Rice cost the Gunners more than £100m but it is already looking like money well spent by the board.

With Thomas Partey also out injured again, Rice’s importance in the middle is even bigger. Indeed, Emmanuel Petit even believes he could be the next skipper.

Arsenal have got what they wanted

Sometimes, a signing just works out well right from the off and it looks like Arsenal have got that with Declan Rice.

The money they spent was massive but right now, it’s looking like the money was more than well spent.

Rice has brought a steel and quality to the midfield for Arsenal that they were missing last season.

At the moment, he’d get in most teams in the world in the middle of the park, he is that good.

Rice will hope to keep improving and driving Arsenal forward. And if they do end up winning a trophy, you can bet that the England man will have played a huge role.
