Mosquera Reportedly Joins Arsenal For Pre-season Tours In Asia, Transfer Done?

JAKARTA - Cristhian Mosquera is reportedly on his way to Singapore to join Arsenal's pre-season tour.

ESPN gathered from several sources that the Gunners had finalized an agreement with Valencia regarding the defender's transfer.

The exact fee is unclear, but ESPN reports that the deal is worth around 17 million pounds, approximately IDR 374 billion, including additional costs.

The two clubs have yet to confirm the transfer, but Mosquera will soon arrive in Asia ahead of the Gunners' first friendly match against AC Milan on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, local time.

However, according to European football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the transfer document for the defender has been completed this week.

"Cristhian Mosquera has flown to Singapore today (Tuesday, July 22, 2025 WIB) to join the Arsenal squad."

"Documents with Valencia for a 15 million euro plus bonus deal are complete. His move to the club has been completed this week."

"He is currently on his way for a pre-season tour," Romano wrote on Instagram.

The 21-year-old will be a coating for the first-choice centre-back pair William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, and are expected to sign long-term contracts.

Mosquera has made 90 appearances for Valencia and played for the U-21 Spanish National Team.

He will be the Gunners' fifth signing this summer after Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Christian Norgaard, and Kepa Arrizabalaga, with their total expenditure of around 140 million.

The fresh funds issued by Arsenal do not include the dowry of Viktor Gyokeres.

The north London club also reached an agreement with Sporting CP on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, regarding the striker's move, costing 63.5 million euros or approximately IDR 1.2 trillion plus 10 million euros (IDR 190 billion). These additional details are still being discussed.
