Arsenal have been named as one of Noa Lang’s suitors since last September and continue to be in the picture to sign the Club Brugge star after this season.
On Tuesday, Gazzetta dello Sport reported that AC Milan have overtaken Arsenal in the race for the winger. It was also explained a fee of €20m would be sufficient to take him away from the Jupiler Pro League winners.
Het Laatste Nieuws have relayed GdS’ claims and provide their own information on this case.
It’s claimed a proposal of €20m plus bonuses, which the Serie A side are preparing, won’t be enough to land the Netherlands international as Club Brugge want ‘more than €30m’.
HLN points out that neither Milan nor the north London club’s interest is new as the latter even made an attempt to bring the 22-year-old to the Premier League in January.
Lang and his entourage will not make a hasty decision and would prefer to wait.
They will consider all possibilities, including a move to Germany, Italy or England.
What’s clear is ‘there will be a transfer’ as that was the Dutchman’s intention from the beginning, which is to leave Club Brugge and make a big jump in 2022.
This was the promise made by the Belgian side to the player, before he signed the last contract.
Another Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad relay claims made by GdS and explain Club Brugge will want more than €20m to let Lang leave in the summer.
It’s even claimed the attacker wants to ‘make a top transfer’ in the next window and Mikel Arteta’s side have been following him for a while.
One for Arsenal fans to keep a close eye on.
