Barcelona are thought to be preparing an offer for Arsenal left-back Sead Kolasinac – but should the Gunners sell the Bosnian this summer?
Accoridng to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, relayed in an article by the Mirror, the La Liga champions have identified Kolasinac as a suitable back-up option for Jordi Alba, with the Gunners willing to part ways with the full back if Barcelona offer £20m this summer.
Selling the 25-year-old would be a surprise to many Gunners fans, with Kolasinac enjoying a solid season under Unai Emery.
Kolasinac excelled in the wing-back role when needed with numerous consistent displays and provided plenty of assists with his pinpoint deliveries last season.
The powerful defender is thought to be happy at the Emirates Stadium, so it appears strange that the Gunners are willing to entertain a deal for the player.
By selling Kolasinac, it would leave Emery short in the left-back area, with Nacho Monreal the only senior man ready to fill the potential vacant role next season.
Emery would also lose Kolasinac’s two years of Premier League experience, which could ultimately backfire on the Gunners next season if a replacement doesn’t adapt to life in Premier League.
However, it appears as if the Gunners are willing to take that risk, but only if Barcelona meet their £20m valuation for the Bosnian.
