‘Here we go’: Fabrizio Romano says ‘amazing’ player Arsenal reportedly want is now signing for Bayern Munich
Last week, there were rumors connecting Arsenal to a potential signing of Raphael Guerreiro. However, it appears that the Portuguese player is now likely to join Bayern Munich.
Arsenal is anticipated to be highly involved in the upcoming summer transfer period. After coming extremely close to winning the Premier League title last season, they are determined to make another strong attempt in the following season.
Guerreiro was one of the players speculated to join Arsenal, but according to Romano’s recent tweet, he will be joining Bayern Munich instead.

If Kieran Tierney departs from Arsenal, it is expected that the club will seek to sign a new left-back during the summer transfer window. Tierney, who is highly regarded by Arsenal fans, has dropped in the team’s hierarchy since the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko last year.
Mikel Arteta has even opted to utilize Takehiro Tomiyasu and Jakub Kiwior ahead of Tierney, indicating that his time at Arsenal could be coming to an end.
Recently, Dean Jones mentioned on GiveMeSport that Guerreiro has been mentioned to him by sources at Arsenal as a potential new left-back.
The highly regarded Portugal international, who has been described as “amazing,” recently announced his departure from Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer. It seemed like a logical move for Arsenal to sign him without having to pay a transfer fee.
Unfortunately for Arsenal, it appears that they have missed out on this opportunity as Romano, a reliable source, has stated that the player is set to join Bayern Munich in the upcoming days.
He tweeted: ” Bayern are set to sign Raphaël Guerreiro on free transfer, here we go!
“Verbal agreement reached on three-year contract — valid until June 2026. Personal terms have been agreed. Medical and signature will take place next week.”

Acquiring a player of Guerreiro’s caliber on a free transfer would have been a shrewd move by Arsenal, especially considering they were only seeking a backup for Zinchenko.
However, it appears that Guerreiro is now heading to Bayern Munich, which means Arsenal will need to explore other options for a left-back if Tierney departs. Finding a suitable replacement won’t be easy since there are limited players capable of playing the inverted full-back role.
The developments in the coming weeks will certainly be intriguing to watch as Mikel Arteta and Edu navigate the situation.
