They will not make top four – Arsenal legend Thierry Henry predicts team that will miss out on UCL next season
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has made a bold top-four prediction, naming the team that will miss out.
Despite not featuring in Arsenal's Premier League squad, Patino's outings in cup competitions have showcased his potential, strengthening Juventus's interest in the academy graduate.
Juventus' Part-Exchange Plan
Tuttosport reports that Juventus is prepared to offer former Everton forward Moise Kean as part of a deal for Patino. With 18 months left on his Arsenal contract, Patino is valued at around £17.4 million, a sum Juventus is currently unable to meet.
Hence, they are considering a part-exchange proposal involving Kean, who has had a challenging time this season with no goals in 15 appearances.

His previous stint in the Premier League with Everton was also less than impactful, prompting a loan move to Paris Saint-Germain and then a return to Juventus.
Juventus's eagerness to secure Patino is driven by the rising interest from other clubs, including Serie A rivals Inter Milan. Arsenal's need for more attacking options might make the part-exchange offer involving Kean an attractive proposition for Mikel Arteta, despite Kean's struggle for goals.
This potential move for Patino could mark a significant step in his career, offering a chance to play for one of Europe's elite clubs
