That is according to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, which notes that the Gunners will not consider a loan exit for the right-back.
Takehiro Tomiyasu is one of the players facing a really tough task at the Emirates this season. The 24-year-old became something of a cult hero during his first year in North London. However, he has been unable to kick on since then.
Arsenal set Tomiyasu asking price
Tomiyasu has struggled with injuries at times. And few could have imagined just how good Ben White would be at right-back last season.
Tomiyasu Arsenal
Inter could offer Tomiyasu the chance to return to Serie A this summer. Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Nerazzurri have the defender on their wishlist as they look for reinforcements at the back.
However, Arsenal will not entertain the idea of a loan deal. Instead, it is claimed that the Gunners want a fee of around €30 million.
Mikel Arteta will not want to lose Tomiyasu. Arsenal will be looking to take that next step in the Premier League this year. But they also have the Champions League to contend with. So squad depth is going to be extremely important.
And Ben White has previously labelled Tomiyasu ‘world-class‘. So he definitely has plenty to offer.
Having said that, it would be a decent bit of business if Arsenal could make a profit on Tomiyasu considering his current place in the pecking order.
Whether Inter would be prepared to pay that amount remains to be seen.
