The former Atletico Madrid sporting director is reportedly set to replace Edu Gaspar as Arsenal's transfer guru.
Arsenal are targeting Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes as part of a triple summer raid
And Spanish outlet AS claims Berta is ready to arrive in London with a bang by moving for superstar Newcastle midfielder Guimaraes.
The Brazil international, 27, has been a key player since joining Toon from Lyon for £40million in 2022.
It's reckoned Guimaraes is happy to stay put on Tyneside after penning a contract extension until 2028 just 18 months ago.
However, he is also said to have an agreement with Newcastle to leave this summer for just £60m if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Five teams from England are set to play in Europe's top competition next season.
And Toon are currently sixth in the table, level on points with fifth-place Man City.
Incoming Arsenal chief Berta is said to be a huge fan of Guimaraes, having tried to sign him THREE times while at Atletico.
And he has already contacted the Samba star's representatives to inform them that Guimaraes is at the top of Arsenal's shopping list this summer.
But the playmaker isn't the only Newcastle star in Arsenal's sights.
The Athletic's David Ornstein claims Mikel Arteta is also desperate to sign teammate Alexander Isak, 25, and has made the Swede his No1 striker target.
However, it's believed Arsenal will need to spend a record £150m to get a deal done, with Isak also under contract until 2028 and in no rush to move on.
Finally, AS adds that Arsenal are confident of completing a deal for Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi, 26, for £50m.
The Spaniard rejected a move to Liverpool last summer but is now thought to be on the verge of moving to England with the Gunners.
Arsenal want both Zubimendi and Guimaraes as they will reportedly bid farewell to duo Jorginho and Thomas Partey.
The veterans are both out of contract this summer and will be released on free transfers.
Jorginho is apparently set to move to Brazil with Flamengo.
While Partey has been linked with Barcelona.
