The Gunners 25-year-old midfielder is moving to the Bundesliga, with the transfer fee being only 300,000 euros

This summer window, Arsenal spent 290 million euros in the transfer market and signed 8 players including Yorke, Eze, Maduaike. But in terms of player sales, Arsenal's work is obviously not done well. According to statistics from the British media Mirror, Arsenal's revenue to sell people in this summer window was only 10.3 million euros. Among them, 300,000 euros came from 25-year-old midfielder Loconga, who officially switched to the Bundesliga Hamburg in the new season.

Looking back at this summer window, Arsenal's lineup has grown a lot. Japanese defender Kenyo Fu'an was terminated, and Thomas, Tierney and Jorginho all left the team as free agent. In terms of player sales, Arsenal generated only 10.3 million euros, of which Tavarez sold 5 million euros (Lazio), Marginhos sold 3 million (Cruzero), and Civiore's loan fee of 2 million euros (Porto). Adding to Loconga's 300,000 euro transfer fee, this is all Arsenal's income in the transfer market this summer.

There is no doubt that the Gunner sold Loconga for 300,000 yuan was a loss-making deal. In the summer of 2021, Arsenal spent 17.5 million euros to sign him from Anderlecht. After joining Arsenal, Loconga has never gained a foothold. In the past four years, he has played in 39 games for Asen and has scored 0 goals and 0 assists. During this period, he was loaned out by Arsenal three times (playing for Crystal Palace, Luton Town and Sevilla respectively). This summer window, Luo Conga, who had only one year's contract, finally joined the Bundesliga Hamburg team with a transfer fee of only 300,000 euros.

Loconga's transfer gave Arsenal a net loss of 17.2 million euros. But Arsenal management believes that it is the best option to clear Loconga's salary from the club's books, because he is not in Arteta's plan. This summer, Arsenal's transfer operations have always been this idea, which has also made it difficult for them to recover their investment costs on a large scale. Nowadays, Arsenal is facing increasing profit pressure. According to the British media Mirror, Arsenal has realized this problem internally and they are working to increase the amount of cash raised by the club through player sales - this is becoming increasingly important in the era of PSR (Profitability and Sustainable Development Rules). Players like Loconga obviously cannot improve the Gunners' profit pressure.

It was revealed that Arsenal needed to complete a significant sale in the near future to protect its balance sheet, and Martinelli became one of the hottest candidates to leave the team after competition intensified in North London, especially after Eberec Eze and Noni Maduek recently joined. At present, the summer transfer window of the Turkish Super League and Saudi League has not been closed, and Arsenal is working hard to facilitate this deal.
