Report Claims Arteta Offered Ben White to Barcelona at €30 Million Valuation

White’s minutes have fallen with Jurrien Timber preferred at right-back.

Overview

  • Spanish outlet Fichajes, relayed by Football365, reports Barcelona are assessing the proposal and that White is described as tempted by a move.
  • The report claims Arsenal would be open to a summer sale as the 28-year-old is no longer a regular starter.
  • Timber has held the right-back role since 2024/25, with White largely limited to cup appearances and managing minor niggles.
  • No formal bid, agreement or on-the-record confirmation from either club has been reported.
  • Fichajes also cites a potential €110m Barcelona summer budget linked to presidential candidate Marc Ciria, a figure not officially confirmed.
