Arsenal are clear to sign Alessio Romagnoli with Roma happy to sell to the Gunners rather than AC Milan, reports the Metro.
The highly-rated 20-year-old is expected to leave Rudi Garcia’s side this summer after being loaned out last term to Sampdoria, and AC Milan have apparently held talks over a potential move.
But with Arsenal registering their in interest in the Italian centre-back last week, it’s now believed Roma would rather do business with Arsene Wenger than Serie A rivals AC Milan.
Roma are willing to sell Romagnoli this summer, but only if the reported £20 million asking-price is met.
And although Milan are likely to pay even more for the defender’s services, Roma don’t want to sell him to a rival club, leaving the door open for Arsenal to make a move.
Romagnoli, who still has three-years left on his current deal at the Olimpico Stadium, has spent three seasons at Roma and has made 14 appearances for the club thus far.
Arsenal are believed to be in the market for a centre-back this summer, but would the potential addition of Romagnoli be the right one for the Gunners to make for £20 million.
With Wenger now,we can never win the league,because is just here to point big players,were Man U and cheasea liverpool,are buying strong players,Wenger don’t know compitition,he just know how to make profit for the club, more of gate taking.We need another coach that can take the team to win big leagues,not pre season cup,but champions league and BPL.We the fans need big cup now,we are tired with old ideas ,we need young and talented coach.Or with Boss Wenger we can never win BIG cups only pre season and FA cups we can only win mark my word.
