Arsenal’s plan to sign Borussia Dortmund’s talented midfielder Mario Goetze may be about to end. Wenger is looking to sign a new midfielder since Samir Nasri is dragging his feet regarding a contract extension, and he may need to find a replacement if the Frenchman chooses to leave the Gunners this summer.
Dortmund’s 18-year-old has been impressive this season helping Dortmund to become champions of the Bundesliga. But according to the Daily Mail the German club told Arsenal: “He is a player money can’t buy”.
Managing director Hans Joachim Watzke said: “We would not even think of selling Goetze until 2014. Even if another club owned oil fields or had billions of euros, it wouldn’t make any difference”.
Nasri only has 12 months left on his contract and there is no news about a contract extension being signed, which means that Arsenal would prefer to sell the player rather than risk losing him for free next year. It is rumoured that Inter Milan are interested in the Frenchman as a replacement for Wesley Sneijder.
This has prompted Wenger to look for a replacement just in case Nasri leaves. However Dortmund are loathe to let another midfielder leave as they are already set to lose Nuri Sahnin to Real Madrid.
