Arsenal track Werder Bremen duo and Manchester United weigh up Claudio Marchisio
Reports in Germany confirm that Werder Bremen are ready to offload defender Per Mertesacker at the end of the season, with Premier League outfit Arsenal thought to be his likely destination.
Arsenal have yet again been guilty of being below par defensively, despite signing two defenders in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Laurent-Koscielny-c21742 and Sebastien Squillaci last summer. The injuries at crucial times in the season have hurt Arsene Wenger badly and Wenger his eager to plug
the gap.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international Mertesacker has just one year remaining on his current deal and is reluctant to agree new terms at Bremen. This leaves no option for the Bundesliga side but to sell him.
Arsenal are keeping tabs on another Bremen player and Arsene Wenger might even be tempted to make a double bid after it emerged that  goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tim-Wiese-c35108 is also available.
The Bremen manager Klaus Allofs confirmed the news that the German international goalkeeper is surplus to requirement and will be offloaded along with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Per-Mertesacker-c29680.
“If you are not going to hand out an extension to an outrunning contract then you need to know all the possibilities available to you,” revealed Allofs.
The manager went on to add, “I am unable to just look after the money, I am also unable to just look after the sport factor. As soon as we are aware of our fate in the Bundesliga this spring, we are going to clarify if we are able to sign extensions to these
contracts. We will be in talks, that is for sure.”
Meanwhile, Italian press reported that Sir Alex Ferguson isn’t satisfied with his current squad and is monitoring Juventus playmaker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Claudio-Marchisio-c9312, dubbed The Little Prince for his outspoken attitude.
Manchester United have been found short in midfield this season with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Owen-Hargreaves-c28918 out with a career threatening injury.
The 24-year-old Marchisio is stalling over a new contract at Turin and has been tracked by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in the past. This season has seen the best out of Marchisio with a string of impressive performances for Juventus He has also represented Italy on eight occasions.
The report suggests that a fee in the region of ₤12 million will tempt Juventus to sell him.
