The story never seems to die and once again Marca are back with their Nacho Monreal to Athletic Club claims. For some reason, the Spanish newspaper will never give up on hopes that the Spaniard will take the offer and move away from the Emirates and they keep posting such speculations on a regular basis.
Marca is a daily sport newspaper and have a complete page on the Athletic Club on a daily basis. Well, given that the transfer season is on, it would be wrong to blame them, but to report something that seems highly impossible, is another thing in itself.
The Athletic Club do not have too many summer targets and a repeat of stories can be expected, as it has happened now. Further, the La Liga outfit themselves are not keen on signing players from other countries and are looking at Spanish players only.
Due to this, the club is still keeping tabs on the Arsenal man and the paper is reporting it on a regular basis. The claims now confirm once again that the Athletic Club have offered Monreal, a three year contract on similar terms to what he currently gets at north London.
The addition this time is that the Spaniard might be tempted by the offer, due to the length of the deal. Well, the persistence of both the clubs and the media outlet needs to be admired, though it seems at present that the 29-year old left-back is quite content playing for the Gunners and will not be leaving the Premier League giants any time soon.
