# Arsenal considering move for midfielder who has €50m release clause

Arsenal will battle with Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli for the signature of Celta Vigo midfielder Stanislav Lobotka.

[Corriere dello Sport](https://www.corrieredellosport.it/)claims that three teams are interested in the player who boasts a €50 million release clause in his current contract.

Napoli had been leading the race to sign the player, who they saw as a replacement for the departing Marek Hamsik.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side are reportedly confident of their chances of completing a deal, but face competition from Arsenal and the Ligue 1 champions.

Hamsik looks set to replace a big role in the deal, having previously [revealed](https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/napoli-captain-reveals-talks-about-club-transfer-target-10627) that he has spoken to his fellow countryman about the prospect of joining the Naples club.

The 23-year-old was ever present for Celta in La Liga last season, making 38 appearances, 34 of which were starts.

The Slovakian has drawn comparisons to a young Luka Modric in Spain and looks set to be a prospect for the future.
