Toni Fruk Transfer from Rijeka to Arsenal
Interest in Toni Fruk began with Arsenal, and a transfer fee of 10 million euros was mentioned.
It is calculated that Andy Bara will facilitate a move for Toni Fruk to England, Germany, or Spain. Andy Bara stated that many clubs are following Fruk and are interested, but that for now, there are no concrete talks or negotiations regarding a possible transfer with any interested club.
According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal is interested in signing HNK Rijeka attacking midfielder Toni Fruk. Sources in Croatia claim that talks have been happening constantly and that Fruk’s new agency, Niagara Sports, held talks in London last week. Mikel Arteta views the versatile No. 10 as ideal depth and future competition for Martin Odegaard. Fruk is on a list at Arsenal with several other candidates. Rijeka president, Damir Miskovic, has stated that any deal will start at €15m, and that Fruk’s former club Fiorentina retains matching rights. Fruk's contract runs until 2027, and it is considered unlikely that he will sign a new deal. Fruk has admitted that his dream is the Premier League.
Andy Bara confirmed to 24 sata that Arsenal wants to sign Toni Fruk and that he is actively working on the transfer. Bara prefers a summer transfer for Fruk to leave Rijeka, as he considers it ideal for the player's development. However, a winter transfer is not excluded if a satisfactory offer is made and the buying club guarantees Fruk a position in the starting lineup. Toni Fruk's market value is estimated at nine million euros, but Rijeka will seek a significantly higher amount. The transfer could become one of the biggest in the history of the HNL, and there is mention that it could potentially be record-breaking for Croatian football.
According to Sport Klub, Rijeka's Toni Fruk is on the verge of signing for Arsenal, with negotiations between the midfielder and the leaders of the English Premier League in advanced stages. The talks are reportedly progressing actively and the deal is expected to be finalized soon. His manager, Andy Bara, was seen in London. Speaking to tportal, Andy Bara stated that it would be neither fair nor professional for him to comment on the names of clubs, but said they are active. He added that they are working, contacting, and offering, and that while there is interest from several clubs, it is too early for any announcements or to say that Toni is about to sign with any club. Foreign media report that these are initial talks and monitoring, not a deal about to be realized.
According to sources from Croatia, Arsenal are in talks to sign 24-year-old Croatian midfielder Toni Fruk from Rijeka. The same sources indicate that negotiations are advancing and that the midfielder is expected to complete a move to London soon.

Fruk has 5 caps and 1 goal for Croatia and has been in impressive form this season, with 8 goals and 2 assists in 16 league appearances. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €9.00m. He has also been linked with other clubs, including Paris Saint Germain and Liverpool.
