Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wants to sign Barcelona midfielder Sergi Samper and the player is considering the move despite Luis Enrique being desperate to keep him.
Wenger faces competition for the 20-year-old, who is under contract until 2017, as Portuguese giants Porto are hoping to take him on loan.
But with his buyout clause set at £8.5million and the player keeping his options open, Wenger has been encouraged.
Samper’s path at Barca is blocked by Sergi Busquets whose place in the centre of midfield is unlikely to be up for grabs anytime soon.
And after Barca B were relegated to the third tier of Spanish football last season, staying in the club’s second string will mean stagnation for the young midfielder.
He tried to sign Samper in 2011 when he brought full back Hector Bellerin to the club and has followed his progress since, watching him make an impressive Champions League debut last season against Apoel in the group stage.Source:Dailymail.
