Most Gooners have weighed in on Arsenal’s summer transfer activity thus far. With the signings done (the arrival of Riccardo Calafiori and the pending arrival of Mikel Merino) and the other anticipated deals (such as for a striker and a custodian), you should be confident.
Having said that, this might be a really exceptional summer for Arsenal, unlike previous summers when the club spent more money buying than selling. This summer could be quite different. If everything goes as planned, Arsenal could earn more than £100 million from player sales, perhaps breaking a club record for the cash raised from sales in a single transfer window.
We have already sold Nuno Tavares and Sambi Lokonga for around £17.5 million. Emile Smith-Rowe also left for a deal worth £34 million. The club expects Eddie Nketiah to depart after the trio’s departure, with an asking price of £30 million. We also anticipate that Reiss Nelson will fetch between £20 and £25 million.
By the time all five of these players leave, the North Londoners will have made around £100 million. If Arteta and Edu believe they still need to sell, there are two players who can increase Arsenal’s revenue: Aaron Ramsdale and Oleksandr Zinchenko. Both of them might bring a combined fee of £50 million. Let us not forget about Kieran Tierney, whom we can sell, although I believe this will be tough, especially given his injury and the uncertainty of his availability before the transfer deadline.
Earning at least £100 million in sales will be a fantastic motivation for the Gunners, because following Arséne Wenger, Arsenal no longer produced lucrative enough sales to reinvest.

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS! Anyone who would like to contribute an Article or Video opinion piece on JustArsenal, please contact us through this link…
Calafiori- 42 million spent
Raya -27 million spent
ESR – 27 million earned
Tavares 7million earned
Lokonga is an option to buy so not sold
Eddie and Nelson will be lucky to get 35 million for the pair
Zinchenko as been given a new squad number so unlikely to be sold
Ramsdale could fetch 30 million .
The club will undoubtedly buy atleast 2 more players probably hitting 100 million plus so answer to the headline not chance .
Hmm! The good Lord help us. Quoted Calafiori’s £42 which includes add ons and brought down ESR’s from £34 which includes add ons to £27 without add ons. I’ve seen this a lot here now when it comes to our players, difference is I am now commenting, calling out the hypocrisy.
“Difference is I am now commenting “
I better watch my step and keep inline then 😂.
We have this habit of devaluing our players a lot, even on social media. Why Will others value them? Just want to start pointing that out as I’ve seen it here a lot too. Not good enough for Arsenal does not mean not good enough for a lower club. I cited the case of Solanke in another article who is clearly in my opinion not good enough for Arsenal and his former employers Liverpool even now who let him, still, his club will not take anything less than £40m if any of the bigger teams come knocking. Just trying to make common sense.
DK, Tavares is only on loan as well. The £7m only comes into effect if conditions are met, which I guess is if he plays a certain amount of games.
Thought I read his was permanent
Sambi is apparently injured already 🙄
It’s a year loan.
Yep, Sambi has a hamstring injury.
This is fantasy and nothing more!
Arsenal hasn’t made a profit on transfers since the 2017-18 season I think (and that was a tiny one) so it’s about time they did. However, let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.
Arsenal has sold one player (ESR) so far in this window. They could well have sold a second (Eddie) but for a moment of madness, to put it politely, in turning down the only offer for him. There’s a lot of selling to do before 31 August.
However, as City’s sale of Alvarez yesterday shows (bought £14m, sold £81.5m), you need to have players that (a) other clubs actually want to buy and (b) at prices they are prepared to pay or, guess what, you don’t sell them! Arsenal haven’t learned that lesson fully yet.
I’m in love with what I’m seeing now from Arsenal in terms of player sales, hope it continues to improve, gradually and steadily we are getting there. Not everything calls for criticism especially in view of improved change. We’ll done to Edu and others. The others can continue with their criticism.
