Ciprian Marica is all set to sign for
the Gunners next season. Ciprian Marica’s agent has confirmed that the
player is close to a move to the Emirates. The 27-year-old Romanian
International’s contract with Schalke has expired, and he is available
on a Bosman free.
So, another free transfer amidst a
plethora of rumours linking with big name players? According to sources
(Express, Metro and Daily Mail), it is reported that
Arsenal along with few other European clubs like Inter Milan, Lazio and Shaktar Donetsk are also after the striker.
Talking about the issue Marica’s agent Giovani Becali told Romanian daily Ring:
“He is close to Arsenal. We’ll see this week. Marica is a
very good striker, a Romanian international and very experienced in
western European football. It is normal that he is targeted by big
clubs, all the more so after he has completed his contract with
Schalke.”
Marica joined the Bundesliga club in
2011 after getting a transfer from Vfb Stuttgart. But he had appeared
only 52 times for Schalke, scoring a meager 9 times. But his
availability as a Bosman transfer has made him lucrative in the transfer
window.
Arsenal are looking to add striking
reinforcements this summer having seen Gervinho leave and
MarouaneChamakh and NicklasBendtner heavily linked with moves away. May
be the free transfer will be a start to a few more additions? We will
have to wait and see.
