If Arsenal want M’Vila to replace Song, they must pay £15.7m – Rennes General Manager

Pierre Dreossi, Rennes general manager, says he expects Arsenal to get back into the race to sign their midfielder, Yann M’Vila, after they sold Alex Song to Barcelona. He confirmed that there are three clubs, who have expressed interest in the France international. The clubs are thought to be Zenit St Petersburg, Tottenham Hotspurs and Arsenal. But he insisted that a deal has not been agreed yet. “For the instant, there are three offers. There is no agreement. We enter negotiations this week and hope to find a solution,” he told RMC. “I think that it will be done by the end of this week or the beginning of next. “It’s a complicated project with clubs who are not even internally agreed [Tottenham], and clubs that Yann does not want to go to [Zenit]. “There is even a percentage chance that Yann could stay at Rennes this year. “Arsenal? Maybe, you’ll have to call Arsene. But when Song leaves, we must say that Arsenal will reinforce that post. Same thing for a club that sells to Arsenal. “We maintain our price tag of around €20m [£15.7m].”
