Club have made new offer for Arsenal player – Deal expected to go through ‘barring sensational twists’

This morning, we’ve seen Italian newspaper Il Tempo claiming this is the time for Roma to make a new attempt for the signing of Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka.

It was said that after having a €15m bid turned down, the Giallorossi should soon make a second offer by putting a little more money on the table.

Now, website Calciomercato brings a new story on the situation, they claim the Serie A side are actually close on finding a deal for the 28-year-old.

The outlet writes that with Arsenal demanding €20m, Roma are now offering €15m plus €2.5m of ‘easy bonuses’.

It’s worth pointing out a second offer is also being pushed by TuttoMercatoWeb, via their journalist Marco Conterio.

They sound confident of the outcome, saying that ‘barring sensational twists’, Xhaka will be joining the club for the pre-season, and there’s even a possibility that he’ll leave his holiday early for that to get cracking early.

Calciomercato recall the positive response from the player was given a month ago, with Roma offering him a four-year contract worth €2.5m per season, and he’s pretty excited to work with José Mourinho.

Now the transfer is said to depend on ‘details’ as Xhaka waits for the ever elusive white smoke.
