Arsenal makes pre-contract offer to midfielder Andria Bartishvili

Arsenal has submitted a pre-contract offer for young midfielder Andria Bartishvili, who is currently playing for Iberia 1999 on loan. The move aims to secure Bartishvili's transfer when his contract expires at the end of 2026. However, the player has options, with interest reported from Liverpool and Juventus. Arsenal's Maurizio Micheli has been monitoring Bartishvili's performances, including a recent match in a Champions League qualifier. Bartishvili is expected to remain with Iberia until December and will turn 18 in March 2027, possibly affecting his transfer timing.
