UPDATE: Koscielny Exit BOUND, As Madrid Table Yet Another SHOCK Bid
Arsenal could be landed a major transfer blow with fresh reports emerging from Spain that one of Arsene Wenger’s key player has become a target for Spanish giants.
Laurent is linked with move to Real Madrid to replace rumoured Manchester United target, Sergio Ramos.
Madrid are prepared to offer Arsenal a bid of £21 million for French centre-back, Laurent Koscielny; despite the defender on signing a new contract at Arsenal last year.
This is according to the Mirror who claims the Los Blancos could make a bid for the Arsenal defender as a possible replacement for Sergio Ramos, if the Spanish defender exits the Bernabeu for Old Trafford this summer.
However, if the La Liga side were to make such a bid for Koscielny, it is likely that the bid would be rejected, due to the importance of Laurent Koscielny to the Arsene Wenger’s side.
The 29-year-old joined Arsenal in 2010 from Ligue 1 side Lorient for a fee of £6 million. And, since his arrival, the defender has become one of the most important players in the Arsenal team and one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League.
Since 2013, Arsenal have won 70% of their games when Koscielny has played the full 90 minutes, and just 33% when he hasn’t, and the Gunners have averaged an additional 0.94 points per game with Koscielny in the side. Arsenal also conceded on average 1.2 fewer goals with Koscielny in the side and racked up 16 more clean sheets.
Never sell him
Is going no were.
Somebody did not get the memo.
Well gone are the days when rich clubs can force a move for our players …. because we have the same spending power …. while having ZERO DEBT. We can buy players today for 80 Million and pay them 300k a week.
SO … it is a non story. Real Madrid cannot talk to Koscielny without our permission and the player himself is happy at Arseanl. There is a huge French influence at the club (obviously) and Koscielny is French. He is at a club full of friends, a club which believed in him, bought him and made him a full international millionaire, a club which can challenge for the Title in the World’s hardest football league, a club which can beat Real Madrid in the Champions League and win that tournament, a club which can match any other club in the World for spending, a club situated in an amazing cosmopolitan city with EVERYTHING.
Real Madrid offers what? A race with only two horses in it. A sense of achievement equal to winning Fifa 15 with a cheat mode. Venomous Spanish fans with ZERO loyalty to their players. A board of directors who sack managers as frequently as Santa Claus does with presents for the good kids.
Arsenal Football Club roll their eyes up at the ceiling when Real Madrid or Barcelona coming knocking.
