Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have made a bid for Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic, according to TMW.
TMW are reporting today that Arsenal have offered €70 million (£58.59m) to Fiorentina for striker Vlahovic.
Fiorentina have accepted the offer from the Gunners,
However, according to the report, there is a ‘twist’.
TMW are reporting that the 21-year-old Serbia international striker has rejected Arsenal’s offer.
Arsenal have offered Vlahovic €10 million per year as salary (£8.37 million per year/£160,949.94 per week) but that is not enough for the striker to make the transfer now.
The Serbian wants to finish the season with Fiorentina and will then consider his future in the summer of 2022.
Arsenal are in the running for the Premier League top four at the moment.
A player of Vlahovic’s quality would make Arteta’s side so much better and more potent in attack.
