Shkodran Mustafi is finding it hard to have minutes at Arsenal this season.
The centre-back has been restricted to six outings combined in the Europa League and the EFL Cup, while he’s been given three substitute appearances in the Premier League.
With a contract expiring in the summer, the Gunners have a last opportunity to cash in from his sale in the winter market.
Last month, reports in Spain stated Barcelona were offered an opportunity to sign the centre-back.
FcInterNews now state the 28-year-old was ‘proposed’ to Inter Milan ‘in the past few hours’.
The Nerazzurri are reportedly expected to be without Danilo D’Ambrosio for several weeks after he suffered a knee injury against Sampdoria on Wednesday.
It’s claimed Mustafi can be a potential ‘low cost solution’ to strengthen the squad in the ongoing window, more so after the D’Ambrosio setback.
A free transfer in the summer ‘can perhaps’ tempt Inter, but this will only be possible if no other club decides to take the player away from the Emirates.
Genoa, Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray have also knocked on the player’s door for a potential January move, but Mustafi has sent back their proposals. That’s because the German is expecting a ‘big’ club like Inter or Barcelona so that he can again kickstart his career.
For now, Antonio Conte’s side continue to evaluate several options and have ‘taken into consideration’ the possibility of signing Mikel Arteta’s man.
