Arsenal’s move for Stephen Nzonzi is being held up by a unique clause in his current Sevilla contract that entitles his father to some money when he leaves the Spaniards.
Nzonzi joined Sevilla in 2015 after spells in the Premier League with Blackburn and Stoke City, and he won the Europa League in his first season under current Arsenal manager, Unai Emery.
The Spanish boss and the World Cup winner are keen on being reunited at the Emirates Stadium but the two clubs are still far from reaching an agreement.
Nzonzi has a release clause of £36 million written into his current contract, but the Gunners don’t want to pay that much for his signature.
Reports in Spain claim that if his father can forfeit his own percentage of any sale of the midfielder, the Spaniards would be willing to listen to offers below his release clause, otherwise, the Gunners would have to pay up his release clause.
