Secco Flies Out For Flamini

Secco Flies Out For Flamini

According to reports in Italy, Juventus transfer chief Alessio Secco has flown out to London in an attempt to sign Arsenal’s Matthieu Flamini.

Flamini has this season established himself as one of Europe’s best holding midfielders, and he is hugely admired in Italy following his superb performance in the Champions League knockout tie with Milan last month.

The 23-year-old’s future at the Emirates Stadium is in huge doubt though as his contract runs out in June, meaning that he can move to another club on a Bosman free transfer.

The ex-Marseille man has rejected a new deal from Arsenal that would raise his salary from €1m to €2m a year.

His manager Arsene Wenger has told the player that he will not be held to ransom over a new contract, and has given him 11 days to sign up or find a new club.

Juventus have been linked with Flamini for a few months now, and latest reports claim that Alessio Secco has boarded a plane to London to present Flamini with an official contract offer.

The chances of signing the Frenchman are said to be good, with Wenger almost resigned to losing him, however AC Milan are also in the hunt
