Although reports have it that Manchester United are in the chase for Arsenal Captain Thomas Vermaelen, but Manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he would prefer to sell to a club abroad and not England.
This comes after it was reported that the London club has received an official bid of £10m from Spanish Club Barcelona on Thursday.
"Yes… I can't tell you [who they are from], but you will know very soon," said the Arsenal manager.
"I've said since the start of pre-season that Thomas could leave us
because he needs to play now. He had an outstanding attitude and
behaviour but he's in a position where it's difficult to stand in his
way if he finds an interesting opportunity.
"Ideally yes [I would rather sell Vermaelen abroad]. It is an option. I
don’t want to tell you [which clubs are interested] but we have offers
from abroad as well."
Wenger however refused to drop a hint on names of possible replacements for the Belgian after his departure but made it clear that the club is still open for business.
