Arsenal insist on €30m price tag for starlet as he rejects likely escape route Matteo Guendouzi may not stay at Hertha Berlin beyond this season despite Arsenal offering them the chance to sign him. That’s according to Sky Germany (via Sport Witness), who suggest that the midfielder is eyeing up a move elsewhere. Guendouzi fell out of favour at Arsenal towards the end of last season, so they decided to send him out on loan. The French midfielder has got back on track with Hertha Berlin, where he has featured in 10 Bundesliga games and scored two goals. As such, they have been impressed with what they have seen from him. Therefore, Hertha could consider signing Guendouzi on a permanent basis. It appears that would not appeal to the 21-year-old, though. Sky Germany claim that Hertha have declined Arsenal’s offer to sell him permanently for a fee of €30m. That may be a little too pricey for the Bundesliga side.

Hertha are currently down in 12th in the German top flight, making it unlikely that they will achieve Europa League qualification.

There have been rumours that Guendouzi may not even wait until the end of the season to leave Hertha. With Arsenal needing another midfielder, they could recall him from his loan. Hertha have reportedly lined up Wolfsburg’s Yannick Gerhardt as a replacement, as they brace themselves for the exit of a player they have seen the importance of in recent months.
