AS Monaco could be stripped by Arsenal

The Arsenal project is at a turning point. After having undergone a (very) long reconstruction and having been considered an outsider team in the Premier League, the Gunners are increasingly establishing themselves as one of the powerhouses of English football. In the fight for the title for 2 seasons with Manchester City, Mikel Arteta's team is a sure bet in the PL in the same way as Liverpool. But this season seems more delicate for Arsène Wenger's former club. Fourth after 11 days, Arsenal is already 9 points behind first place occupied by the Reds.

Beyond the athlete, the club must also take care of its internal reconstruction. Sports director Edu has thus announced his departure and the leaders must quickly find a man capable of carrying out the Gunners project as well as the Brazilian who has done a lot of work in recent years. For several days, different profiles have been surveyed, but management has visibly made up its mind. According to information from Sky ItaliaArsenal has made Thiago Scuro its priority to embody the rest of the project. The Monaco sports director is highly appreciated for the work he has done in France, but not only that.

Thiago Scuro, Arsenal priority

The 43-year-old Brazilian leader has long led the Red Bull project in football and ticks all the boxes. Arsenal therefore believes that its philosophy and its ability to exchange and represent a project correspond perfectly to what the club expects to succeed Edu. Above all, Thiago Scuro masters all the codes of modern football and what it represents. Arriving in Monaco in 2023 to succeed Paul Mitchell, he was able to rebuild a team and make it a credible candidate in the title race. After notably appointing Adi Hütter, he considerably rejuvenated the squad by bringing back successful players like Balogun, Zakaria, Ilenikhena, Lamine Camara and Singo. His policy also made it possible to promote the club's young players like Akliouche and Ben Seghir.

Sky Italia adds that Arsenal are also attracted by his talent as a negotiator. After having managed to pass on Axel Disasi for more than 45 million to Chelsea, Scuro managed to make AC Milan give in in the Youssouf Fofana case by recovering 25 million. Big sales which show his ability to defend the institution to the end. In short, Thiago Scuro represents the perfect profile to continue to lead Arsenal to the heights and finally seek this Premier League title. It now remains for the English club to convince the main interested party to leave Monaco. But if he decided to join England, it would be a very big loss for the principality club.
