€40m option to buy
What happened. Milan offered a season-long loan with an option to buy for €40m for Ethan Nwaneri, but Arsenal have not sanctioned the departure.
- Arsenal were open to a straight loan to Marseille without a buy option.
- Milan's proposal was not even considered by Arsenal's decision-makers.
- Midtjylland's Dario Osorio is a potential alternative for Milan.
Milan may turn to other targets as Arsenal hold firm over Nwaneri's future.
