Arsenal handed boost in Mattia Destro transfer bid

23 April 2015 11:04

The Roma striker who is currently on loan at AC Milan could be on the move again in the summer if Milan do not exercise the redemption according to his agent Renzo Contratto.

Destro has been no stranger to transfer speculation, being heavily linked with a move to Chelsea and Real Madrid in the summer of 2014.

The 24-year-old striker went on loan to Milan at the end of January where he has made 8 appearances and scored 2 goals so far. The player was in the picture in January over a possible transfer and the agents comments have sparked further speculation over a potential move to London.

Contratto spoke to Tele Radio Stereo saying: ‘If it had been Bayern Munich in the summer instead of Wolfsburg, I’d have taken him there on a bike.

‘He’s now at Milan in too modest an environment, perhaps the most modest in the last 30 years. If Milan don’t exercise the redemption he’ll return to Roma.’

The player will be out of contract with Roma at the end of the season and the report in the Metro suggests that Wenger is preparing a bid.
