It is now looking more and more likely that the Italian keeper Frederico Marchetti will be coming to Arsenal as it has been revealed that the 27 year-old has put in a de facto transfer request. Cagliari dropped Marchetti from the side that faced Bastia in a “friendly” last night, but the game was marred by continual protests from the Cagliari fans about the club letting Marchetti go. In the end the “friendly” had to be abandoned after brawls between both sets of players!
A statement regarding Marchetti was posted on the official Cagliari website yesterday which said. “He expressed his desire to leave through the media,”
“The club will do everything to make him happy, so if Marchetti does leave Cagliari, then our first choice will be Michael Agazzi.
“Cagliari are not looking for a different first choice goalkeeper.”
It has been reported that Arsenal have offered 6 million euros for him, but as Cagliari value him at closer to 9 million there is still some negotiating to do, but if the statement from Cagliari club president Massimo Cellino that Arsenal “are the only ones pushing for his signature” are true, then it is only a matter of time before the deal is complete.
