Gazidis set to join Milan with huge pay rise on offer

Ivan Gazidis finally looks set to secure a move away from Arsenal and accept a big-money offer from Milan.

The London Evening Standard reports that Gazidis is set to bank around £3.6 million a year from the move, with Milan keen to get a deal over the line.

Gazidis has been in talks over a move to Italy for some time and any potential deal has been drawn out by Arsenal’s attempts to keep him at the club.

The Elliott management group have been very keen to bring the Arsenal chief executive to Italy and utilise him in a similar role at the San Siro.

Following a takeover at the club during the summer, they want to take the Italian side back to the top of Serie A and envisage Gazidis playing a key role in that process.

It had been suggested that he could stay at Arsenal, but he now looks increasingly likely to move on.
