According to Relevo, the Gunners have made “big moves” to sign the midfielder, but will have to meet Lazio’s €80million-€100million (£68.8million-£86million) price tag should they opt to make sign him in January. However, should no agreement be made over a new deal, the 27-year-old could be available for €40million-€50million (£34.4million-£43million) in the summer.

The report claims that a permanent deal is ‘problematic’ for United, with the club keen to defer the hefty fee until the summer.

Cedric on the move
