Arsene Wenger received £17.1m payoff from Arsenal

The latest Arsenal news and transfer rumours on Tuesday, January 29, including a reported payoff for Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal's decision to bring Wenger's reign to a premature end cost the club £17.1m in pay-offs to him and his staff, report The Times.

Wenger's reign ended after 22 years in the job last season when he had a year left on his contract. Accounts seen by the newspaper reveal Wenger was paid in full for that final year, costing the club £17.1m.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have offered Ivan Perisic £250,000 a week to join the Gunners on an initial loan with a view to a permanent move in the summer, according to The Sun.

Ivan Perisic could be on his way out of Inter Milan

Sky in Italy says Arsenal proposed an initial loan for Perisic, with an option to buy for £34.5m, but Inter appear to prefer a permanent move for the Croatia international.

According to Milan-based newspaper Libero, Perisic has agreed personal terms with Arsenal despite the two clubs not agreeing on a loan or transfer deal.

Additionally, Arsenal are eyeing a move for Napoli right-back Kevin Malcuit as a replacement for Hector Bellerin, also according to The Sun.

Stephan Lichtsteiner and Carl Jenkinson are not long-term prospects in terms of replacing Bellerin, leaving the Gunners short of options. Therefore, Unai Emery has reportedly turned to the Serie A star.

Arsenal could send Mesut Ozil to Paris Saint-Germain in a swap deal for Adrien Rabiot, according to the Daily Star.
