Deportivo La Coruna have made a $10.1million bid for Arsenal flop Lucas Perez. Elsewhere, Radja Nainggolan will end talk of a move to Manchester United or Chelsea by signing a new contract extension with AS Roma. Still, in Italy, Inter Milan are ready to offer Tottenham Hotspur $13.5m for Erik Lamela, while Lazar Markovic has been left out of Liverpool's squad for pre season friendlies in Germany after holding talks with Fiorentina. Here's a complete report of the latest soccer updates:
Deportivo willing to give Lucas Perez a chance
Deportivo La Coruna are willing to give Lucas Perez a route out of Arsenal, and they've now made a $11.7million offer for the striker, according to Express.
Deportivo are hoping that could be enough to get the deal over the line for Perez, who's ready to return to Spain this summer. Lucas Perez only joined Arsenal Football Club last year summer from Deportivo La Coruna for $22.3million, but endured a “torrid” debut campaign at the Emirates. The 28-year-old has recently been “stripped” of the Number 9 jersey at Arsenal and has been deemed surplus to requirements by the Premier League club.
Nainggolan signs new deal with AS Roma
Radja Nainggolan has been linked with a move to Manchester United and Chelsea over the past twelve months after impressing for both country and club. But according to ESPN FC, the Belgium international is now ready to “snub” the EPL duo by signing a new long term deal with AS Roma.
The Belgian midfielder is said to have agreed fresh-terms with Roma and a formal announcement is expected this Saturday. Radja Nainggolan is set to become one of AS Roma's highest paid player by signing a new long term deal.
Inter Milan willing to sign Erik Lamela from Tottenham
Italian Serie A giants Inter Milan are interested in Erik Lamela after failing to persuade PSG to part ways with fellow Argentinian international Javier Pastore.
According to 90min, The Italian giants are now ready to firm-up their interest in Erik Lamela by making a formal bid of around $17.6million. However, that offer is “likely” to be turned down by Tottenham Hotspur as it fails-short of their $20.9million asking price for the striker. Erik Lamela “endured” an injury hampered campaign last-term and it has been speculated the 25-year-old could be on the move this summer window.
Markovic set to leave Liverpool
It is understood the Serbian forward has met officials of Fiorentina to discuss a possible move but, according to Daily Star, Liverpool are holding-out for $20.9m, having paid Portuguese club Benfica $26m for his services in 2014. Lazar Markovic spent the last two seasons on loan at Sporting Lisbon and Fenerbahce. The Serbia international was recalled from his loan stint at Sporting Lisbon to join Hull City in January where he enjoyed some successes last term. Lazar Markovic played forty-five minutes in Liverpool's first pre season friendly match against Tranmere but has not featured since and was left out the Reds' Asia pre-season tour in Hong Kong.
