Arsenal FC keen on €20m-rated goalkeeper claims agent

Arsenal are keen on signing on-loan Pescara goalkeeper Mattia Perin, according to his agent.

Perin, who is spending the season on loan at Pescara from Genoa, has caught the eye of a number of clubs this season as a result of some impressive performances.

But the 20-year-old's agent expects Genoa to keep hold of him for at least another season.

And Matteo Roggi has claimed any club wanting to prise his client away from Genoa would have to meet his €20million asking price.

Roggi told tuttomercatoweb.com: "There are many clubs interested in him: Arsenal, Barcelona, AC Milan. It has also been said about Juventus, Napoli and Roma.

"Currently, however, there is only one certainty about Mattia's future: he will return to Genoa at the end of his loan and there is a mutual intention for him to spend at least one season in a Genoa shirt.

"Just a month ago we extended his contract until 2017 and Mattia's cost is at least €20m.

"I am 99 per cent sure he will be Genoa's goalkeeper next season."
