Transfer: Roma offers Arsenal Kluivert in swap deal for Henrikh Mkhitaryan
Roma has repeatedly offered Arsenal winger, Justin Kluivert as they attempt to sign midfielder, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, on a permanent basis this summer’s transfer window.
This was made known by respected transfer expert and sports journalist, Nicolo Schira. Schira disclosed this in a tweet via his official Twitter account on Saturday night.
According to him, talks are ongoing with the agents of Kluivert and Mkhitaryan to finalise the deal. Schira said: “Roma want to buy Henrikh Mkhitaryan on a permanent deal. “Giallorossi has offered Arsenal a swap with Justin Kluivert.
“Talks ongoing with the agent of two players: Mino Raiola. Transfers AFC.”
Mkhitaryan has spent the current campaign out on loan in Roma. Roma wants Mkhitaryan back at the Stadio Olimpico next season.
Mkhitaryan has a year left on his contract with Arsenal, and the North London club will be keen to sell the Armenian international at a high fee.
Arsenal value the 31-year-old at around £10million, but Roma’s valuation is even lower than that.
