Perez: Get Real, Arsenal

Perez: Get Real, Arsenal FLORENTINO PEREZ has told Arsenal to get Real over their valuation of Madrid star Gonzalo Higuain.

The Gunners are locked in a tug of war with Juventus for the Argentina striker and Perez hinted he will cost upwards of £30m — much more than the £20m Arsenal were set to offer.

Real president Perez insisted he will demand top dollar for Higuain, 25, who has three years left on his Madrid deal.

He said: “With £25.5m it’s better that they don’t come.

“Let’s see if people ask us for £50m for everyone and we sell one of ours for half that.”
Perez has decided to block any bids for Higuain before finalizing the capture of new boss Carlo Ancelotti from Paris Saint-Germain.

The French champions are still playing hardball over Ancelotti who is set to take charge of the Spanish giants — as SunSport exclusively revealed on April 27.

Real want to give him the final say on whether Higuain is offloaded though the player has expressed a wish to quit the Bernabeu.

A move to Juventus seemed nailed on but Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has tried to snatch him from under the noses of the Serie A champs after meeting his dad in Paris.
