Arsenal offered the chance to sign Barcelona midfielder

 

Arsenal have been offered the chance to sign Barcelona midfielder for around €30m this summer, according to Sky Sports. 

 

The Blaugrana remain keen on a new midfielder while the transfer window is open, but are supposedly prepared to cash in on Rafinha in order to strengthen elsewhere. 

 

The versatile 24-year-old has not travelled with the Barcelona squad for their pre-season tour of the USA as he recovers from injury. 

 

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu earlier this month said that Rafinha would not be sold in the summer. 

 

 

However, the player last month is quoted as saying: "My future is open and God only knows what will happen." 

 

Rafinha has previously been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, with Arsene Wenger keen to improve his midfield options. 

 

Santi Cazorla is ruled out for the foreseeable future, while Jack Wilshere is rumoured to be on the verge of a move away from Arsenal, with Sampdoria supposedly keen on the English midfielder.
