Despite playing a key role in Mikel Arteta's FA Cup final victory over Chelsea, it is suggested he could leave the Emirates for £30 million in order to help bring in funds.
This news follows the announcement that the club was making 55 of their staff redundant, while they are also pursuing a move for Brazilian winger Willian.
This could prove to be a source of frustration for Arteta, who played the 22-year-old nine times after the restart and has previously hinted towards the board that they need to help him improve the squad.
Milan outline centre-back needs
AC Milan are looking to bring in a centre-back, with Nikola Milenkovic topping technical director Paolo Maldini's target list, according to Calciomercato.
This comes after a season in which the 22-year-old started 36 Serie A matches for Fiorentina, showing the type of form that has the club demanding €30m-€35m for him.
The Rossoneri do have back up plans in case they can't bring in the Serbian, as they have also identified Kristoffer Ajer and Mohamed Simakan of Celtic and Strasbourg, respectively.
All of these three options fit the bill for a young, physically strong defender that is confident in one-on-one situations, which is what the Milanese club is said to be focusing on.
They could face competition from Leicester City if they opt to move for Ajer.
Tap-ins
- . Tottenham Hotspur are making a move to sign AFC Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson, according to The Daily Star. With the report also saying that they are closing in on Southampton's Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, they are now looking for a striker to provide cover for Harry Kane.
- Granada are looking to Spanish giants Real Madrid for their summer signings, reports Marca. They had been aiming to bring Takefusa Kubo in on loan, but ESPN sources say he will be joining Villarreal instead. Undeterred, they will be moving to bring Brahim Diaz and Jesus Vallejo in on loan deals -- the latter ended the 2019-20 season there after failing to make an impact for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
