Arsenal To Make Club Record Offer For Portuguese International Veloso - Manchester United & Chelsea Also Linked

Submitted by Jake Briggs on Fri, 2008-06-27 14:28. Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United Premiership Transfer News

Premier League club Arsenal are set to make an offer for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Miguel Veloso according to his agent Paulo Barbosa.

The 22-year-old Portuguese International has been at Sporting since 2006, and has been linked with a host of European teams this summer, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all being linked, as well as Serie A giants AC Milan and Juventus.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is an admirer of Veloso and sees him as a tailor made replacement for Matthieu Flamini, who will be leaving the Emirates this summer for Juventus.

Veloso, who has seven caps for Portugal has a buy-out clause in his contract of £23.7million(€30m), but it is believed that Wenger is going to test the resolve of the Verde-e-Brancos with a club record transfer bid of £18million(€22.7m).

“We did not have normal contact from the Arsenal board, but from a member of the technical staff at the club," said Barbosa.

"At the moment there is not a formal offer yet, but it is possible that will happen soon”.
