The French club have been pursuing the Arsenal striker for the entire summer but have<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-price-tag-eddie-nketiah/blta410658ee71dd904" target="_blank"> not yet had a breakthrough</a> in negotiations with the Gunners over a permanent deal. But according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5658066/2024/08/09/eddie-nketiah-marseille-arsenal-transfer/" target="_blank">The Athletic,</a> Marseille now know they must fork up out a fee of €30 million (£26m/$33m) at the end of the proposed one-year loan.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The ball is now firmly in Marseille's court over whether they sign Nketiah or not. Arsenal are not prepared to move on their asking price and if the French club want to continue bolstering Roberto De Zerbi's attack, they will need to meet the Gunners' demands.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Nketiah has already agreed personal terms on a five-year contract with Marseille and is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/eddie-nketiah-told-follow-mason-greenwood-marseille-pierre-emerick-aubameyang/bltafbcffca2658153d" target="_blank">keen to link up with De Zerbi,</a> who is the main driver behind the deal. The 25-year-old only signed a new deal with the north London club in 2022, which has become a stumbling block in getting the deal done.

DID YOU KNOW?

Having featured 27 times in the Premier League last season, Nketiah is not seen as an outcast at Arsenal. As it stands, he is working with the team during pre-season as they look to launch an offensive on Manchester City in a bid for the top-flight crown.

Arsenal are finally ready to sanction the departure of Eddie Nketiah to Marseille, but only if they meet their asking price.
