Paper Talk: Arsenal target offered in swap deal, Inter dream of signing Di Maria

Paper Talk: Arsenal target offered in swap deal, Inter dream of signing Di Maria

Arsenal are known to be admirers of Juventus midfielder Mario Lemina who has also attracted the interest of Watford and Everton. The Gabonese midfielder is available for € 20 million but Juventus could also use him in a player-plus cash swap deal to sign Sevilla midfielder N’Zonzi.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, the Old Lady is trying to lower the player’s €40 million price-tag including the former Marseille starlet in the deal.

Lemina, however, would prefer to test himself in the Premier League and not in Spain and Sevilla’s DS has recently revealed that they will only sell N’Zonzi for his release clause. Juventus, however, will still try to use Lemina to spend less money for the former Blackburn star.

Meantime, Inter want to close the gap with Juventus and become credible Serie A contenders again. The nerazzurri still dream of signing Psg ace Angel Di Maria although taking the Argentinean to the Meazza would be pretty expensive for Inter’s new owners Suning who, however, have made the Argentinean their summer transfer priority, according to Tuttosport.

Psg have slapped € 50 million price-tag on the talented winger whose salary is close to € 11 million-a-year.  Di Maria’s contract with Psg, however, expires in 2019 and Inter could offer him a four-year, € 6 million-a-year deal.

​Representatives of the Serie A giants are already in touch with the player’s agent Pablo Sabbag but Psg are still not ready to negotiate the sale of Di Maria as they are trying to keep Verratti under the Eiffel Tower despite the player’s will to move to Barcelona.
