Milan are ready to do battle with Arsenal for Spanish midfielder Marc Roca, who Espanyol must sell after their relegation.
The 23-year-old midfielder has a €40m release clause in his contract, but clearly the club is going to have to accept much less after plummeting to the foot of the Liga table.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Milan and Arsenal are the main contenders for his signature.
Roca came up through the Espanyol academy and has spent his entire career with this club, but the time has come to move on.
He scored two goals and provided three assists in 42 competitive games for Espanyol this season.
Thanks all, I am aware Musacchio is injured although I will still cry since he remains here while we might not take the option of 3.5 on a decent defender for now.
Watch Lazio x Atalanta getting Kjaer and showing us how great he is

We could build a team with relegated players.
Benna, Rash and Roca.
Lol they are talented players tho.
Do we really need Roca? We need to buy starting CF, RB, RM, LM, CB before buying someone for rotation. What is the point in spending 25 m on a player who will challenge Bennacer and Kessie for their positions when we have so many holes to fill?
The Emerson deal makes 0 sense. 25M for a vice Theo? What kind of deal is this? Those journalists cant even made up a proper news

Emerson is RB ffs.
Maybe Ralf can't forget that Kessie was shit for two seasons and that several good games can't change it. Or he's seeking for different profile of midfielder.
I'm not saying that Roca is the right solution but I don't believe them, neither in Kessie or Hakan.
Read it again. Not "vice Theo" but "new Theo", he is a RB.
After Theo, any RB or LB coming in should be picked by Maldini.
Interesting, everyone laughed at me for including Dumfries on the list, but now that we are linked with Emerson suddenly all want Dumfries.
