Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Arsenal are almost certainly set to pass up the chance to sign Yannick Carrasco this month despite being offered the player by Chinese club Dalian Yifang.
Unai Emery recently admitted that the Gunners do not have the funds to make any permanent signings in this window, but would be considering loan moves.
The Gunners have been heavily linked with former Atletico Madrid star Carrasco whose family are reportedly struggling to adapt to life after a year in China.
Speaking on Sky Sports’ Transfer Talk podcast ,Belgian football expert Kristof Terreur says Arsenal can’t afford him as the stars huge wages he earns are a stumbling block to suitors.
Unai Emery has revealed Arsenal cannot make permanent signings this month
“Arsenal are looking for a winger, but do not have the money to buy him,” said Terreur.
“If they are considering to take him on loan, he will have to take a pay-cut, because he earns around 180,000 euros a week. It’s a lot of money.
“It’s difficult for him to find a new club when he’s on big wages. I think that will run until the last days of the transfer window, where some clubs become desperate, and maybe Arsenal will be one.
“But at the moment, he has just been offered there, they have not made a proposal, so now there are no negotiations ongoing, but they have been made aware that he is available, and Unai Emery of course knows him from his period in Spain.”
