Sevilla wants to sign the Belgian on loan for the upcoming season, which is a favourable option for Arsenal. However, Mikel Arteta’s side wants a commitment to a permanent transfer.
Sambi Lokonga is not in Arsenal’s plans, and the Gunners are eager for him to leave as soon as possible.
Arsenal’s priority is a permanent transfer, and if a club wants to take him on loan, they must agree to an obligation to sign him permanently.
Sevilla is not comfortable with this condition, but negotiations continue. According to a report on ABC, the Spanish side must commit to paying €15 million as a fee to sign Lokonga permanently after a successful loan spell.
There is no point sending Lokonga out on loan if he would return to the Emirates.
He is no longer a part of our plans and we need to get rid of him as soon as possible.
If we insist on what we want, we will get a club that is willing to sign him and his next team will not be Sevilla.
