Arsenal have reached an agreement to sign Andrea Berta as their new Sporting Director, who will officially begin working with the Gunners with immediate effect.
Having left services for Atletico Madrid after a decade long successful spell at the Spanish club, Berta had been eyed by Arsenal to replicate the profile of Edu Gaspar, who resigned in November.
Arsenal’s backroom staff consisted that of managing director Richard Garlick, executive vice chair Tim Lewis, interim assistant director Jason Ayto and owner Josh Kroenke involved in aiding the Mikel Arteta in adding inputs and solutions to the club
Who is the Italian Andrea Berta?
Berta has spent almost 12 years at the Spanish giants Atletico Madrid where he’s managed to build a dynasty known for their ability to challenge big clubs in negotiations and sustain pressure and challenge Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Berta’s stint in Madrid has seen him win 2 La Liga titles, Europa League winners and finishing runners up in the Champions League twice. From being initially the technical director in 2013, he transitioned to becoming their Sporting Director in 2017
Having a strong and experienced personality like Andrea Berta gives you the added benefit of knowing what to want and how to achieve it. A man that won’t agree and accept but rather question and provide with the inputs for the betterment of the institution.
Andrea Berta’s Player Highlights:
Track record in signings are excellent. Some major signings from his time at Atleti include; João Felix for €127M, Julian Alvarez for €75M, Thomas Lemar for €72M and also additional deals for players like De Paul, Morata, Cunha, Gallagher and Suarez
In Arsenal perspectives, getting an amount for sales has always been an issue and Berta knows his way through it. Some of his key sales have included; Griezmann for €120M, Lucas Hernandez for €80M, Rodri for €72M and Partey for €42M.
You can argue that the signing of a Director of Football has to be Arsenal’s biggest signing in the ongoing season and the ambitions for the future. We expect Berta to play a monumental role for the club and aid Arteta to success.
