The Spain winger Santi Cazorla has told Arsenal that he is prepared to leave Málaga to join them. Arsène Wenger is keen to sign Cazorla, whom he monitored last summer, and he is hopeful that an offer of €20m (£15.6m) can close the deal.

Negotiations have taken place between the clubs and, although Málaga's initial response was to point to Cazorla's €45m buy-out clause and effectively discourage Arsenal's interest, the Spanish club's worrying financial situation, which could see them relegated if they do not pay outstanding debts, might force them to sell.

Arsenal's summer business has been overshadowed by the Robin van Persie saga, with the captain intent on leaving the Emirates Stadium. Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus have made bids, which have been rejected by Arsenal, who will hold out for at least £20m, and the race for his signature is hotting up.

Juventus have been back in contact with Arsenal and they have indicated that they will pay close to the £20m asking price while they could also offer Van Persie an extraordinary contract worth £190,000 a week after tax. Arsenal, if pushed, would prefer to sell to an overseas club but they are preparing for an improved offer from United. Both Manchester clubs have so far offered about £12m.

Wenger has already signed the strikers Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud and the addition of Cazorla would give him another attacking option. He is expected to sell Andrey Arshavin, with clubs in the middle east having expressed an interest, but he would still have Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Gervinho in wide areas, although he has experimented with the latter through the middle in pre-season training.

Cazorla wants to leave Málaga, the club he joined for €19m last summer from Villarreal, after wages went unpaid during the campaign and promises were broken. The 27-year-old has told Málaga of his intention to depart and he has also spoken to Arsenal to tell them he is keen on joining them.

Málaga may facilitate the move but the power vacuum and inertia at the club means that the future is uncertain. If Málaga's Qatari owner, Sheikh Abdullah Bin Nasser Al-Thani, does not inject more money, the sale of Cazorla would represent the swiftest way for the Spanish club to cover their debts. If Málaga do not settle those debts by 31 July they face relegation to Second Division B and the loss of their Uefa licence and Champions League participation.

Considering the wealth of the owners and the more than €150m poured into the club over the past two years, Málaga's inertia is baffling. Theoretically, al-Thani could resolve the crisis at a stroke. Sources at the club say that his methods are "different" and that they would not be surprised if the money turned up at the last minute but they cannot count on that. While the debt is outstanding, the Spanish league will not allow them to make any signings.

Cazorla is one of four players, alongside Ruud van Nistelrooy, Salomón Rondón and Joris Mathijsen, who threatened to make a formal complaint against Málaga during a meeting with the president of the Spanish players' union, the AFE, José Luis Rubiales, on 13 July.

After the meeting, Rubiales insisted that an "important" amount of money was still owed to some players but that others had been paid in full. The club reassured the players but, if a lasting agreement is not reached, a meeting can be scheduled on 25 July between the AFE, on the players' behalf, and the LFP (La Liga), on behalf of the club, to reach a resolution.

Villarreal claim Málaga also owe the €3.5m outstanding on the sale of Cazorla, while the Spanish tax authorities are demanding almost €7m. Public debt is not unusual for Spanish clubs but Miguel Cardenal, the president of the Supreme Sports Council, the CSD, introduced a new zero-tolerance policy in April. Both the league and the AFE signed the agreement, according to which clubs with outstanding debts other than previously accrued debts for which payment plans have already been agreed, face automatic relegation.

Since buying the club and becoming president, Al-Thani has invested over €60m in playersand taken Málaga to Champions League qualification for the first time. Now, though, there is silence. Neither the owner nor his vice-president are currently in Spain, as has been the case for much of the last year, leaving Málaga in limbo. José Carlos Pérez, the club's consejero, essentially the man running the day-to-day business, died in the spring and the general manager, Fernando Hierro, who had been forced to intervene last season when players had gone unpaid, resigned saying he was no longer "comfortable" in his role.

I pray Cahill does go to MMLS

Every time he plays against us he scores, usually more than once

[urbaNRoots]

Juve reportedly offered £17m (€20m)... take that and pay it straight to Malaga

@Barretinator - whether van Persie will join City or not... I said he wont. I have a perfect avatar already

[Jay29]

Then there's this from a relatively reliable journalist:

The 27-year-old is widely expected to be part of a fire sale at Malaga this summer, with wealthy owner Sheikh Abdullah Ghubn struggling to bring the club's crippling financial problems under control.

Malaga were expected to emerge as a new super power in Europe when Ghubn complete his take over last summer, but despite splashing the cash on several high profile signings, the money appears to have run out.

The club are currently being chased for a hefty tax bill owed to the Spanish government, while Villarreal are among a number of sides still chasing money owed to them on transfers conducted last summer.

Malaga are yet to fully pay Villarreal the £17 million they owe for Spain star Cazorla, and according to reports in Spain, they want to offload the player now in a bid to raise cash to pay their debts.

However, Qatari based owner Ghubn has ruled out selling any of the club's players this summer - including Cazorla:

'We are not a selling club,' he told reporters over the weekend.

Cazorla is rated as one of the best midfielders in Europe, and has attracted interest from Arsenal and Tottenham - both of whom wanted to buy him last summer.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is willing to try and poach the player from Malaga, but only if the price is right, while Tottenham will also consider a move if they offload Luka Modric as expected this summer.

Cazorla, who scored nine times for Malaga last season, is believed to have set his heart on a move to the Premier League.

Sell RVP to anyone but United

Buy : Cazorla,M'Vila, Bastos (meh season , should come at cut price) (I'd go for a more balanced LB or one who's actually played there more consistently, but Sangna defensively solid so he'll be okay....I think)

Sanga-Verm-Kos-Bastos
---------M'Vila--------
--Song/Artera-Wilshire
---------Cazorla---------
-Walcot--Giroud--Podolski

[RealGunner]

lol too many LW already, no need for Bastos

[Le Samourai]

lol too many LW already, no need for Bastos

Buying him to play Left Back my formation needs width.

I really would put someone else if I could think of them, can't be worse than Santos or Gibbs defensively.....you don't even have to buy him honestly, but LB is the clear weakness, not sure how to improve it.

What's up with Malaga?

I heard Atleti might get thier CL place or something

Osasuna now apparently reporting Malaga for not paying the whole transfer fee for Naxto Monreal.

http://www.as.com/english/articulo/osasuna-denounce-malaga/20120723dasdenspo_9/Ten

Really is an odd situation at Malaga at the moment. Their owner can pay off their debts, from what I've read, but for some reason hasn't.

He'll probably pay them off right at the last minute, saving Malaga and trolling Arsenal in the process.

Internacional's president Giovanni Luigi claims Oscar's proposed move to Chelsea is in a 'very advanced' stage but is yet to be finalised.

He told Terra: "The situation is very advanced, but not finalised yet.

"Oscar has to get his work permit. He needs to have a certain amount of caps to play in England, but I don't believe that will be a problem."

Luigi refused to confirm Oscar's transfer fee but said the midfielder's former club Sao Paulo would receive a percentage.

He added: "I won't confirm the value, but I can guarantee it wasn't in pounds. No cross-border negotiation is made in pounds - it's either Euros or dollars.

"I have also reached an agreement with Sao Paulo over their part. It's Chelsea that will pay that, not Internacional."

[Zealous]

Al Thani is loaded so Malaga's situation is really lol worthy

In any case I think Malaga will eventually be bailed out maybe Al Thani is just making the Malaga board sweat for not sticking to the budget they were given.
