The future of Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal has been a subject of gossip in the Spanish media. The Spain international, who joined in the January transfer window of 2013 from Malaga, has primarily played as a secondary player to Kieran Gibbs.
he had made 23 league appearances for the club, but the Spaniard was mostly used in the absence of Gibbs mainly due to injury. There were rumours this summer, mainly from Spanish media that he could be sold, if Arsenal receive any good offers.
According to Marca today, Arsenal received a good offer from Spanish outfit Athletic Bilbao for Monreal.
However, Arsene Wenger has disallowed the transfer due to the injury of Kieran Gibbs. Wenger has asked the board that if they were to sell Monreal they’d have to sign a top level replacement reports soccerlens.
