PSG open talks with £21m Arsenal target

|

Paris Saint-Germain have opened talks with reported Arsenal target Ricard Rodriguez.

The Wolfsburg left-back is regarded as one of Europe’s finest in his position and is expected to move on sooner rather than later from the German club.

The Gunners have been linked with the 24-year-old over the summer but were unable to push a deal through.

And now, according to RMC (via talkSPORT) PSG have entered the race for the Switzerland international’s services.

It’s believed the Ligue 1 club are in the market for a new left-back as Layvin Kurzawa struggles with injury.

But Rodriguez reportedly has a £21 million release clause in his current deal at Wolfsburg, who are not willing to let him leave for anything less.

Arsenal have shown a strong interest in Rodriguez in the past and with Nacho Monreal getting on and Kieran Gibbs still yet to establish himself as a potential regular in Arsene Wenger’s side, the Gunners would be foolish not to revive their interest in the Swiss defender.

A £21 million move for one of Europe’s finest left-backs would be viewed as a bargain more than a gamble. Hopefully PSG’s reported interest will see Arsenal renew theirs next month.
