Friday 20-03-2026
The site 'Fichajes' confirmed that next summer will witness a strong competition between Arsenal and Manchester City to sign the young player Pau Cubarsi, the defender of Barcelona, to strengthen the defense line of both teams in the next season, while the Catalan club's management is holding on to their player, considering him a fundamental pillar in their current sports project.

The report indicates that Barcelona is demanding an astronomical amount to negotiate, based on a release clause amounting to 500 million euros, while the market estimates his value at 80 million euros, reflecting the rapid development of the defender and his tactical importance within the team.

Pep Guardiola sees Cubarsi as the perfect option to renew Manchester City's defense, especially with the potential departure of key players like Nathan Ake and John Stones, benefiting from the player's maturity and ability to read games and organize play from the back.

As for Arsenal, led by Mikel Arteta, they plan to make Cubarsi an important defensive cornerstone, benefiting from his passing ability and vision of the game to enhance the offensive side, with the possibility of some current players leaving to free up financial space to complete the deal.

Barcelona insists on not easily giving up their star, relying on their release clause to protect the team's interests, while Premier League clubs study their strategies to convince the player, who holds the final decision to continue with Barcelona or embark on a new experience in the strongest league in the world.
