Arsenal will need to pay at least €15 million (£13m) to sign Axel Disasi from Reims, according to reports.
The Gunners are in talks to sign the 22-year-old centre-back this summer as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his defensive options. According to RMC Sport, Arsenal made an offer in the January transfer window for Disasi but that bid was rejected by Reims as it did not meet their valuation.
The French club are reportedly holding out for an initial €15m (£13m) fee but are also demanding add-ons and a percentage of any sell-on fee.
Since Arsenal’s offer in the winter, the report claims that Reims have received bids from three different clubs but all have not met the €15m (£13m) asking price. RMC reports that Arsenal hope to ramp up negotiations for Disasi ‘in the coming days’.
Speaking this week, Arteta admitted that Arsenal’s hierarchy have three different transfer plans depending on where the team finish in the league. ‘We have a lot of meetings to try and plan the season,’ said the Arsenal manager.
‘We might have one, two, three different scenarios and we have to be prepared for all of them. ‘I’m not a person that likes improvising a lot so yeah we have to know the circumstances can change every week and we have to be prepared as a club to react to that and adapt.’
