Reports on Italian websites are claiming that Roma
officials, namely Walter Sabatini, will travel to London today to try and
finalise a deal for Gervinho with the club having already agreed terms with the
Ivorian winger.
The two clubs are still slightly apart on their valuation
of the player and the reports claim that Roma will offer €8m when they arrive
which should be enough to see the deal finally concluded and yet another player
leave the Emirates this summer.
There isn’t much more to say about all this that I
haven’t already said. Arsenal have stood fast on their valuation for the player
and Roma, who started bidding at €3m have slowly risen to Arsenal’s demands.
Gianluca Di Marzio said
”The mission
begins. A few hours ago Walter Sabatini, Roma sporting director, flew to
England. Tomorrow [Friday] he will meet Arsenal, on the table there will be the
future of Gervinho.
“The agreement between the player and AS Roma striker is
already there, now lacks the agreement with the English club.”
Roma manager Rudi Garcia is keen to bring the player he
worked with at Lille to Serie A and despite only being at Arsenal for two
seasons, Gervinho will more than likely benefit from a new start in a new
league.
