Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
Cristhian Mosquera has been a prominent Arsenal transfer target in 2025, with reports that he was close to completing a move from Valencia and could join Arsenal’s defensive line ahead of the new season. Some outlets suggested personal terms were agreed and that a transfer fee around €20 million was involved, with a medical and formal signing expected in July 2025. [Sources discussing the transfer trajectory include Just Arsenal and Football.London coverage from July 2025].
Mosquera reportedly traveled to join Arsenal for pre-season activities, with indications that he would participate in tour-friendly fixtures as part of the finalizing process of the deal. Multiple outlets from July 2025 framed his arrival as imminent, pending formalities. [Yahoo Sports and OneFootball articles from July 2025].
After his initial link, there were later updates about his fitness and potential injury concerns during 2025, which Arsenal monitored as part of assessing his readiness to contribute immediately or after recovery. [Football.London and standard-sports-style briefings from December 2025].
Illustration: a defensive signing profile often highlighted Mosquera as a young, Spain U21 international who would compete with established starters for central defense duties.
If you’d like, I can pull the most current sources and summarize the very latest developments with direct quotes and dates, or provide a quick timeline of the transfer saga.

Despite Valencia offering him an improved contract to stay, Mosquera had already set his sights on joining Mikel Arteta’s side. He also turned down a lucrative proposal from an unnamed Serie A club, making it clear Arsenal was his preferred destination.
