Arsenal has reportedly prepared a lucrative offer to lure
Bayern Munich defender Márcio Rafael Ferreira de Souza, (commonly
known as Rafinha) to the Emirates Stadium
this summer. The 30-year-old right-back has only a year left on his current
contract at the Allianz Arena and could be allowed to exit the club this summer
with the Bundesliga champion hunting for young legs to fill his potential vacant
position.
According to Sport Bild, the Gunners have offered the Brazil
international a three-year contract which may seem too good for him to reject.
Arsenal is currently short of players at the right-back. With
the uncertainties surrounding the future of Bordeaux loanee Mathieu Debuchy and
the non consistency of former Southampton player Calum Chambers, the London club
is left with only Hector Bellerin for the position.
Sport Bild also reported the Bavarians are considering the
possibility of signing either Arsenal's Bellerin or Real Madrid's Dani
Carvajal. And it is not certain Arsene Wenger would be interested in a swap
deal as the Frenchman wants more addition at the right-back.
Rafinha, who turn 31 in September has enjoyed a trophy-laden
spell at Bayern Munich since joining them five years ago, winning three Bundesliga
titles, three German Cup, the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the Club
World Cup. He has made 22 appearances for the German giants in all
competitions
this season.
