TRANSFER LATEST! Roma Football Club Give Arsenal Condition To Complete Mkhitaryan Deal

Roma have asked Arsenal to pay a chunk of Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s £180,000-a-week wage to complete a permanent move, ESPN reports.

Mkhitaryan is free to leave the Emirates and is keen on a switch to Serie A.

The 31-year-old initially joined Roma on loan in September and the two clubs are now negotiating a permanent deal.

Arsenal are believed to be demanding around £10million for Mkhitaryan, who has one year left on his contract.

However, Roma are unwilling to match his salary and have indicated they want financial assistance from Arsenal to complete a deal.

That could come in the form of a lower transfer fee, but also by agreeing to top up his wage for the remainder of his contract.

“My time in London is over, I hope you manage to find an agreement with Roma because my desire is to remain,” Mkhitaryan told Corriero dello Sport on Wednesday.
