According to the article, Arsenal were told by the Spaniards that the player is for sale with Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City, also interested.

The same website reports how Palermo’s Simon Kjaer is very close to sign for Steve McLaren’s VfL Wolfsburg, but, based on what the article says, Arsenal are hoping to make a last-minute offer to secure the services of the 21-year old. Speaking last month, Palermo’s Walter Sabatini also confirmed that the player is being monitored by Inter Milan’s new manager Rafa Benitez.
