Gervinho could be on his way to Roma after their new boss Rudi Garcia reportedly made the Ivorian forward a main transfer target. Widespread reports in Italy suggest Roma are closing in on a deal and that the Gunners will sell if a suitable offer arrives. Fresh Arsenal reported last month that Gervinho had been put available for transfer, but Arsenal were not trying to actively shift the player.
New Roma boss Rudi Garcia worked with Gervinho during his time at Lille and is said to be the clubs number one target to replace the departing Pablo Osvaldo, who has been linked to Manchester City. Reports in Italy suggest the asking price is 10 million euros, which equates to around £8.5million. Arsene Wenger confirmed in December that Arsenal paid £8million for Gervinho, so the prospect of making profit on the player is something the club will struggle to turn down.
Fresh Arsenal report from June 9 reads: Gervinho is a player that Wenger isn’t actively looking to sell, but if an offer comes in at equal or above the £8million he paid for the Ivorian, the Frenchman is unlikely to turn it down. Bendtner is a player who will definitely leave – a fee of around £5million would likely seal a deal. Johan Djourou is the third player, he looks all set for another loan move, with the player keen to stay in Germany.” Read more: https://fresharsenal.com/three-more-heading-out-the-door-to-raise-15million/#ixzz2YXsI3W69
