Valencia have given Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini 72 hours to decide whether to join the Spanish club. Arsene Wenger is aware of the situation and has authorised the talks. Valencia sporting director Amedeo Carboni was clear about his interest in the player.We have spoken to him and we want an answer soon as we must make plans for the coming season.
Howver, the weekends papers are suggesting that Flamini has changed his mind about wanting to leave Arsenal and this has apparently put the Bakiri Sagna transfer at risk.
Untrue.
Wenger was really quite definitive in his approach to dealing with Flamini in 2007. The midfielder's non appearance with the club during a period of heavy injury clearly suggests that Flamini is probably not in Wenger's long term plans.
TRANSFER POSSIBILITY RATING - 8/10
I expect this one to happen rather quickly. The likes of Birmingham have made enquiries about Flamini but he feels European football in vital to his continued participation in the France side (in spite of being called into but not yet appearing in the France team). Wenger will probably prefer to send Flamini abroad too.
David Villa
Valencia are also close to securing the services of former Gunner Nicolas Anelka. Part of the plans Carboni has involve bringing in the French striker as a potential replacement for David Villa.
