Reports suggest his agent will soon meet with Valencia to express the player’s desire to move, with Arsenal leading the race despite interest from Villarreal, Atletico Madrid, and AC Milan.
Valencia’s owner, Peter Lim, may accept a fee between €20m-€25m if Mosquera does not renew, a bargain for a player of his potential. Reports indicate Arsenal’s proactive approach, with the club keen to capitalise on Mosquera’s low release clause.

The young defender’s versatility—he can also play right-back—adds to his appeal. With 33 La Liga appearances this season, Mosquera has showcased his recovery skills and composure, qualities that align with Arsenal’s ambitions of competing for major silverware and regular Champions League football.
His dream of playing at the highest level could see him favor a move to the Emirates, where Arteta’s project is reportedly the most attractive option.
Arsenal’s pursuit of Mosquera signals their intent to bolster their defensive depth, especially with uncertainties surrounding players like Jakub Kiwior.
If successful, this signing could be a masterstroke, securing a talented, young defender with the potential to become a cornerstone of Arsenal’s backline for years to come. Fans will be eagerly awaiting updates as negotiations progress.
