Antonio Sanabria snubs Arsenal for Roma

09 January 2014 - 13:14

Italian giants AS Roma have apparently edged Arsenal to the services of Barcelona starlet Antonio Sanabria.

  • Chelsea plan summer move for Victor Osimhen
  • Xabi Alonso wants reunion with 27yo star at Chelsea
  • The 17-year-old Paraguayan international has been the subject of a transfer battle between the two clubs since his denial to sign a new deal with the Catalan outfit.<br />

    However, Sanabria has revealed that he will join the Capital club in the summer, with the Giallorossi having triggered his £3.6m buy-out clause.<br />

    Sanabria is expected to join an Italian club during the winter transfer window in order to gain valuable football experience in the Serie A.<br />

    "I will go to Roma," the talented Paraguayan youngster said. "Roma already put the necessary money to the Spanish Federation for the clause asked by Barcelona. "<br />

    "I can't play for them for six months so I will soon go on loan to another Serie A team."<br />

    Sanbria has been capped three times by Paraguay.
