Paris Saint-Germain to offer 15 million Euros for Arsenal star Gael Clichy – Ligue 1 news
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international Gael Clichy is attracting interest from ambitious Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain, according reports in French newspapers.
The 25-year-old defender is currently on the books of English Premier League side Arsenal but has been linked with a move away from the Emirates for a long time.
According to reports in British media, the left-back is also attracting a lot of interest from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603. Reports now suggest that PSG are preparing a bid of 15 million Euros for the France international.
For several weeks, no a day passes by without seeing a new player linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain. The official takeover of the club’s affairs by the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Qatar-c2986 Investment Authority is expected to be finalised by the end of this week. With the takeover,
the club will also announce the much-anticipated arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 Director.
The arrival of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sylvain-Armand-c34429.
In the now-concluded 2010/2011 Ligue 1 season, Armand was forced to play as left-back after Siaka Tiene failed to impress at the defensive position. Armand is not expected to leave the club any time soon due to his versatility in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Defence-c38904 but Les Parisiens
are in the market for a recognised left-back.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 manager Arsene Wenger says that he has no plans to let go of Clichy. However, the speedy left-back has chosen not to extend his contract that expires in the summer of 2012.
The former Cannes man might be attracted by what PSG have to offer him if he joins the Ligue 1 club. Reports in French media indicate that PSG are willing to offer the defender three million Euros per year. Furthermore, PSG are willing to give Arsenal 15
million Euros for Clichy’s services – an amount that might make Arsenal reconsider their stance on Clichy’s future at the club.
Clichy has made 187 league appearances for the Gunners so far and might not be an Arsenal player by the end of the transfer window. Though it’s still not clear where the highly-rated defender would be going, a move to PSG can’t be ruled out as the Paris-based
club is in dire need of a recognised left-back.
