"As first reported here for the Daily Briefing, sources in the industry believe it could end up being a big summer for Corinthians midfielder Breno Bidon, who already attracted a lot of interest in the January transfer window just gone. The 20-year-old central midfielder has already played over 100 senior matches for Corinthians, scoring four goals, and it seems clear that he'll earn himself a big move sooner rather than later."
"For the time being, the feeling among well-connected sources in the industry is that Arsenal have the strongest interest in Bidon, and that they're also most advanced with that interest as initial talks have already taken place. The Gunners have reached out over this deal via intermediaries, but other top clubs like Chelsea are also monitoring the Brazilian starlet closely."
"Arsenal are firmly in the mix, one source said. They have done some early work on this deal, but of course Corinthians aren't keen to sell. They're in a strong negotiating position because his release clause is 100m. Other sources suggest, however, that Corinthians are realistic about Bidon's future and might accept something more like 30m for him in the summer."
Arsenal have conducted initial talks via intermediaries to sign Corinthians' 20-year-old central midfielder Breno Bidon. Bidon has played over 100 senior matches for Corinthians, scoring four goals, and is expected to secure a major transfer soon. Arsenal are currently the most advanced suitors, though Chelsea are also monitoring the player and could enter negotiations. Corinthians hold a reported €100m release clause but may be prepared to accept around €30m in the summer. Other potential destinations include Barcelona and clubs in Italy and Portugal. The transfer could be significant for Bidon's development and European recruitment strategies.
