Earlier this week, we covered a story from Le Foot in France claiming Arsenal, who will be losing Aaron Ramsey to Juventus at the end of the season, were interested in Jordan Veretout.
The former Aston Villa has found a new lease of life in Italy with Fiorentina, and his performances have led to Napoli also being keen on his services, who so happen to be the Gunners’ next opposition in the Europa League.
With this in mind, Calciomercato claim the player’s agent in Italy, Mario Giuffredi, has travelled to London on Thursday to watch the game at the Emirates.
As you might have guessed, the website believe this will be an ideal opportunity for the representative to speak with both clubs in person, aware they hold an interest in his client.
From previous reports, the suggestion is that €25m will be the minimum to convince Fiorentina to part ways with the Frenchman, who signed from Aston Villa two years ago for £6.3m.
One of the key players under Stefano Pioli until the manager’s sacking earlier this week, Veretout has appeared 30 times in all competitions for La Viola, scoring five goals and picking up four assists.
