Valencia have named their price for Adil Rami – £9 million.
The French centre-back has previously been linked with a move to Arsenal and looks set to depart Valencia before the new season begins.
Arsene Wenger may look to recruit a new centre-back in the upcoming weeks following the release of Sebastien Squillaci and loaning out Johan Djourou, while Thomas Vermaelen is expected to miss the start of the new season with a back injury.
Valencia are now willing to sell Rami, who joined the La Liga club in 2011, if a bid in the region of £9 million is offered.
Last season, the 6’4’’, Bastia-born defender made 36 appearances in all competitions for Valencia, contributing two goals and assists along the way.
Rami would provide good cover should any of our first-choice centre-backs pick up a long-term injury (fingers crossed this doesn’t happen), and for £9 million you can’t really go wrong.
Juventus are also thought to be tracking the France international.
Rami will be a good fit and considering his experience will be quite a steal at 9mill!
Hopefully the consideration pursuit of Cesar, Suarez and Bernard will put Arsenal in contention of trophies come next season and the future!!
Come on Wenger we need to buy a few good defenders value for money
Wenger should sell useless players to raise fund to buy 4 potential players, Suares, Felain and 2 defenders.
Suarez,fellain,benard,Adil Rami &fabr
winger,please spend more to put the team to standard
bringing in suarez,fellaini or guatavo,rami n cesar will be a perfect addittion n will surely make arsenal contenders if not being able to end the trophy drought.
So true about that
Suarez, Ceasar, Fellaini, Rami nd Bennard would do gr8 wonders to the team, and wit dis likes, we could contend for any trophy in Europe. Mr Wenger; Wisen up and splash dis cash
Wenger will not listen. How old is Rami?
