Following reports saying Arsenal are interested in Vitória Guimarães star Ibrahima Bamba, we get to see an interesting response to that rumour in the Portuguese media today.
Newspaper O Jogo features a story reacting to the news and writing that the defender’s club are actually ‘receptive to negotiating’ him this summer.
A potential move to Arsenal or other Premier League club is seen as a great chance for Vitória Guimarães to make some cash, especially with the rumours talking about summer offers worth between €10m and €12m.
O Jogo just highlights that the Portuguese club will only be interested in negotiating him when the numbers match the ‘value of the player’.
On Transfermarkt, the defender is currently valued at €5m, although the interest from Premier League sides should certainly put that price up.
Besides Arsenal, Aston Villa are also reportedly interested in the 21-year-old, and that could make this battle quite interesting.
