Arsenal's planning for the second half of the season is undoubtedly conditioned by what happens with their star players in the month of January. Alexis Sánchez and Mesut Özil continue to be the protagonists of rumors that take them away from the Emirates Stadium before their contracts expire.

In any case, it is assumed that the London team will have to reinforce, and for that, various possibilities are already being considered. As explained by the Daily Mirror, one of the possibilities that the English club is considering is Joao Mario, a 24-year-old midfielder from Inter Milan.

Arriving a year ago to the nerazzurri, the Portuguese could be sold in the winter market so that his current club can make other signings. Italian media outlets like TuttoMercato explain that his price would be around €30 million.

This is an amount that Arsène Wenger's team could use to give a new boost to their midfield, although other clubs like PSG are also interested in signing him.
