Arsenal are reportedly considering another deal as a part of their summer exodus, which saw the likes of Lukas Podolski and Abou Diaby leave the club. Ligue 1 side Bastia are interested in signing Mathieu Flamini and as per reports from the French publication of Eurosport, Arsenal are willing to allow the Frenchman on a free transfer though he has a contract with the club until 2016.
The Gunners have awarded club captain Mikel Arteta with a one year extension on his current contract and with Francis Coquelin as the first choice defensive midfielder, Flamini’s first team chances could very much become a distant dream.
However, Flamini has to accept a pay cut to move to Bastia as the club are in financial crisis and would not be able to afford his wages.
