US EditionArsenal confirm Andrea Berta to replace Edu as sporting director at Premier League club
- Andrea Berta, formerly the sporting director at Atlético Madrid for 12 years, is expected to be confirmed as Arsenal's new sporting director, replacing Edu who resigned earlier in the season to take on a new role under Evaneglos Marinakis.
- Berta, who had no playing career and started in banking, brings extensive experience in managing transfers, scouting talent, and creating strategic footballing plans, building key connections with Peter Kenyon and Jorge Mendes early in his career.
- During his tenure at Atletico Madrid, where he worked alongside manager Diego Simeone, Berta oversaw a squad rebuild after their 2014 La Liga title, making 52 signings since 2017 and spending around 828 million euros , contributing to two La Liga titles , a Copa del Rey , and a Europa League title .
- Berta is credited with bringing in key players such as Griezmann, Luis Suarez, and Julian Alvarez, while also having some less successful signings like Joao Felix, but he always worked within the club's financial limits, according to Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.
- Berta's arrival at Arsenal, expected before the start of next week and possibly in time for the Premier League match against Fulham at the Emirates, marks a new era in the club's recruitment strategy, with the aim of strengthening the squad for both domestic and European competitions and solidifying Arsenal's position among Europe's elite footballing powers.
