**Arsenal attacking midfielder Ethan Nwaneri is attracting interest from AC Milan, [RB Leipzig](https://goonernews.com/blog/arsenal-transfer-news-antonio-nusa-2/), Fulham and Everton, according to journalist Matteo Moretto.**
Speaking on Fabrizio Romano’s Italian-language YouTube channel, Moretto [said](https://youtu.be/XwBOxVoyZKc?si=p20MBm9Ic7UIz3VA&t=341) that Milan have been gathering information ahead of a possible bid for the 19-year-old:
“There have been contacts; Milan is making enquiries to gauge the situation regarding Ethan Nwaneri. I can add that other clubs are also interested in Nwaneri, so watch out for the competition, because the competition is fierce.”
“It extends to Germany, with Leipzig involved, and then there are two Premier League clubs – Fulham and Everton – that are very interested in Ethan Nwaneri.”
“Arsenal are open to the possibility of the youngster leaving. A permanent transfer would be preferable, provided they don’t lose control over the player. So, in short, Arsenal would be willing to listen to offers. He is not an untouchable player, far from it, though there is certainly still a long way to go. However, I can tell you that Ethan Nwaneri is on Milan’s list.”
Arsenal may be looking for a buyback clause
-------------------------------------------
Moretto mentions that, while the Gunners are open to a permanent exit, they don’t want to “lose control” of Nwaneri’s future, which may suggest they want the option to bring him back to the Emirates.
The inclusion of a buyback clause would be a smart move, especially if the teenager goes on to thrive at Milan or another team.
How much would Nwaneri be sold for?
-----------------------------------
There have been reports that the Premier League champions value the Hale End graduate at £50m, but a buyback option would mean they would have to lower their demands.
For his part, Nwaneri is desperate to get more first-team football. Although the loan switch to Marseille in January didn’t work out for him, he wanted to play more minutes and his stance is unlikely to have changed six months later.
