Overview

• Mosquera declined Valencia’s offer to extend his contract until 2028 with progressive wage increases, confirming his desire to join Arsenal.
• He has one year remaining on his deal, and his rejection of the renewal offer shifts negotiations toward establishing a transfer fee.
• Arsenal reached agreement on Mosquera’s personal terms ahead of formal fee discussions with Valencia.
• Valencia dismissed Arsenal’s initial €14 million bid as too low and is insisting on at least €20 million to sanction the move.
• Sporting director Ron Gourley and coach Carlos Corberán must balance the club’s financial requirements with the potential loss of a key academy graduate.
