Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi is on the transfer radar of Serie A giants AC Milan – as per a report from TodoFichajes.com.
Recently, Mustafi had a lot of praises to sing about his manager, Mikel Arteta following which some people thought, the centre-back has been able to win over his new boss.
“Each one of us has benefitted from this arrival,” Mustafi had said, as per The Mirror. “He has brought a very clear identity and a very clear idea of how he wants to play football, but at the same time he gives you space to make your own decisions because you are on the pitch and you know exactly what the coach wants from you.
“I think as well he has been listening into the changing room and listening to the players to find out why things were not working out before. Sometimes we don’t realise how difficult it is to be a coach because you have so many people that you have to make follow your idea.
“Sometimes players are happy, sometimes players that don’t play are not so happy, so it is not easy to have all on board and all agreeing with your ideas and philosophy.”
But it looks like Arsenal are still very much inclined in selling off the defender and they currently have a €10 million price tag on his head.
The report states: “According to the information that we handle at TodoFichajes, Mustafi is one of the possibilities that the Rossoneri team handles for the next course.
“The German international does not enter Mikel Arteta’s plans and has a good chance of leaving next summer.
“There are several teams that have been interested in the situation of the Arsenal footballer who rates the departure of the central defender in €10M.”
Shkodran Mustafi has one year left on his current deal at the Emirates and given the average performances he’s put in this season, €10 million is a lot of money for the German international.
Now that Arsenal have players like William Saliba and Pablo Mari, they will be more than to see Mustafi leave meaning AC Milan should not have any major issues in signing the 28-year-old. Having said that, the Italian will have to fight the other suitors who want to land him in the summer.
