Key Man Utd clause is scuppering rivals’ move for £80m winger Manchester United’s sell-on clause is making it difficult for Arsenal to sign winger Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace, according to reports. The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for Zaha this summer but Roy Hodgson recently claimed that the north London side haven’t come anywhere near meeting Palace’s valuation. It had been reported that Arsenal have had a bid of £40million rejected for the Ivory Coast international but the Eagles are understood to want nearer £80million for the winger. The Independent claimed on Monday that the Gunners have proposed a ‘£55m deal with £10m dependent on clauses’ plus Reiss Nelson on loan for the season. And now the Evening Standard says that Arsenal are ‘enduring even tougher negotiations’ because of ‘Manchester United’s sell-on clause for the Crystal Palace forward’. The Gunners are finding it tough enough due to Palace’s ‘strong position’ as they are under no pressure to drop their £80million asking price but ‘the presence of Manchester United’s sell-on clause are making talks even harder’. Palace sold Zaha to United for £10m in January 2013 but the winger failed to impress at Old Trafford, returning to Selhurst Park on an initial loan before the move became permanent. A 20% sell-on clause was inserted into the deal which saw them re-sign Zaha from United in February 2015. If Zaha went to Arsenal for £80million then United would be set to profit from a £16million windfall, which has led the Eagles to strengthen ‘their resolve around not dropping Zaha’s asking price’.

Manchester United’s sell-on clause is making it difficult for Arsenal to sign winger Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace, according to reports.

The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for Zaha this summer but Roy Hodgson recently claimed that the north London side haven’t come anywhere near meeting Palace’s valuation.

It had been reported that Arsenal have had a bid of £40million rejected for the Ivory Coast international but the Eagles are understood to want nearer £80million for the winger.

The Independent claimed on Monday that the Gunners have proposed a ‘£55m deal with £10m dependent on clauses’ plus Reiss Nelson on loan for the season.

And now the Evening Standard says that Arsenal are ‘enduring even tougher negotiations’ because of ‘Manchester United’s sell-on clause for the Crystal Palace forward’.

The Gunners are finding it tough enough due to Palace’s ‘strong position’ as they are under no pressure to drop their £80million asking price but ‘the presence of Manchester United’s sell-on clause are making talks even harder’.

Palace sold Zaha to United for £10m in January 2013 but the winger failed to impress at Old Trafford, returning to Selhurst Park on an initial loan before the move became permanent.

A 20% sell-on clause was inserted into the deal which saw them re-sign Zaha from United in February 2015.
