According to reporter Romano, Arsenal will soon talk directly to Chelsea with Maduaike.

Romano wrote on his personal social media: Arsenal will soon negotiate with Chelsea on the transfer of Maduaike. There is a gap in the valuation of the two clubs, but the two sides will conduct follow-up negotiations to understand whether and how to advance. It is understood that Maduaike has reached a five-year contract with Arsenal.

Previously, according to TA, Arsenal wanted Maduaike and Chelsea's asking price would exceed 50 million pounds. The club believes that given West Ham's valuation of Kudus and Newcastle's signing of Ilanga by 52 million pounds, the market conditions prove that the asking price is reasonable.
