Report: 24-year-old Arsenal player says yes to joining top-flight club
Ainsley Maitland-Niles has moved a step closer toไ leaving Arsenal for Roma, that the 24-year-old has accepted the offer on 𒉰the table from the Serie A side.
Maitland-Niles looks destined to leave the Emirates when the January transfer window opens. Previous reports have suggested that the two clubs have reached advanℱced talks over a potential deal.
Maitland-Niles has struggled once again to force his way into Mikel Arteta’s plans this season. He has not featured💯 in the Premier League since late November.
And with that, a move to the I♔talian capitalꦬ looks to be on the cards. In fact, Sky Italy have suggested that an agreement is edging closer.
They report that Maitland-Niles has now said𝓰 yes to the movಞe. It is claimed that he is set to leave on loan with Roma having the option to make the move permanent in the summer.
It does appear that th༺ere are still hurdles to clear. that Roma have offered to൩ pay £630,000 for the loan deal. And they want an option worth £8.4 million (€10 million) included in the terms.
Arsenal however, deem those figures to be too low. Soꦛ there are still some details to iron out.
Time for Arsenal to let Ainsley Maitland-Niles move on as Roma push for deal
Of course, Maitland-Niles is not the first Arsenal player to come incredibly close to joining Roma in recent months. Granit Xhaka was heavily linked with a switch to Jose Mourinho’s side in the summer. At one stage, it was suggested that an announcement may be imminent.
Clearly, Xhaka♑ ultimately stayed put. So it is obviously too soon to suggest that Maitland-Niles leaving is a d༒one deal.
However, it does appear to be the right time to let him go. He is no♕ longer one of the younger members of the squad. And, despite a few false dawns,ꦅ he has not been able to establish himself in the side.
He is clearly a huge talent. And Arsenal will likely know that he could thrive elsewhere. But it still looks to be best for all parties if a deal is ag꧅reed now that Maitland-Niles has given༒ a move the green light.
