Arsenal On Verge Of Sealing €45m Draxler Deal – Report

By on January 23, 2014

Some interesting news coming out of Italy this evening with reports claiming that Arsenal are on the verge of agreeing a €45m deal with Schalke for Julian Draxler.

TuttoMercatoWeb are running an ‘exclusive’ suggesting that a deal is all-but agreed with Arsene Wenger giving the go-ahead to trigger the 20-year-old’s €45m (£37m) release clause.

Schalke apparently turned down our offer to include Lukas Podolski as part exchange but TMW claims that representatives from Arsenal will thrash out the finer details of the deal in Germany on Friday with Draxler on stand-by to fly to London as soon as he’s given permission.

This news comes after several British newspapers reported on Thursday morning that a delegation from Arsenal flew out to Germany to hold formal talks with Shalke, so there could actually be some foundation to this.

If this report from Italy is to be believed, it appears we’ve found a breakthrough in the talks and we could actually be close to signing Draxler.

However, as exciting as this news is, I’d take it with a pinch of salt until we hear something more concrete. I’m not sure how reliable TuttoMercatoWeb is and it’s not worth us getting our hopes up just yet.

I’m sure there will be more news on this potential deal, so I’ll bring you the latest when I hear it.

Come on Arsene, let’s get this deal done!!

    It’s a double Good news for me then because I was already heartbroken about losing Podolski. Whatever the boss does I wish he leave Pod alone.

      I dont want him to leave Pod alone. I want him to put Pod in the starting lineup for upcoming games. He’s too good to warm the bench!

      …..or Suarez…. annoying that we probably could’ve had him, if we weren’t so obviously trying to wind them up, as Suarez himself wanted to come…..

    Wenger said categorically ‘No’ today that Arsenal were signing Draxler.
    I’ll believe the Prof rather than some two-bob story by a reporter in another country.

      What are you smoking there? Oh, you expect Wenger to open the deal for the media right? What a looser. Wenger knows what he is doing. I love it when he says no

    I wish Wenger would play poldi more, maybe I’m too young to see it but i honestly don’t understand why the coach doesn’t play him. He’s a really good crosser, has unbelievable power and accuracy with his left foot and works very hard for the team. The fans believe he’s an important player but the boss doesnt..if the reports about offering him up in exchange for draxler are to be believed. Anyway I’m more than glad he’s still with us, hope he gets a more consistent run with the team.
