GOOD NEWS: Agent confirms Arsenal target is ready for EPL move

The agent of Lovro Majer, Marco Busiello says his client is ‘ready’ for a big move as Premier League giants as Arsenal eye up the Croatia’s World Cup semi-finalist.

Busiello told Tuttomercatoweb that the bidding for the player must must start at £35 million as Arsenal gets busy for the January winter transfer window.

“Lovro is destined to take on Modric’s legacy,” says Busiello; indicating that the time is right for a further step up the footballing ladder.

“In France, with the Rennes shirt, he is doing very well. I think he’s now ready for a further leap in quality. Not (in January), because clubs hardly do without such important players in January.

“But then the transfer market is unpredictable. A year ago, Juventus bought (Dusan) Vlahovic for 70 million euros. Who would have thought that?”

Busiello believes Rennes will now demand a sizeable fee, just two years after stumping up £10 million to take Majer away from Dinamo Zagreb.

“He has many admirers in Italy,” the agent adds. “He’s a player of significant value. I don’t think Rennes will accept offers of less than 35 to 40 million euros. (Interest) also came from England. We’ll see.

“Given his style of play, La Liga and the Bundesliga are probably the ideal leagues to make a further leap forward.”

However, Arsenal will face competition from other clubs as Atletico Madrid are believed to be keen as well.
