Contract proposal from Sociedad way lower than Liverpool’s contract bid.
Turns out that Houssem Aouar wanted to come to Arsenal, Aulas was willing to sell, but it was his brother who made us leave the deal due to his unbelievable agent fee demands. This is good news, because we could revisit his signing in Jan, but he must move to a proper agent.
