Yeah, either we're haggling or there has been no serious discussion. We might just have enquired about him. Kicker claimed that there are no agreements in place either with the player or the club. They didn't make it sound like a transfer was imminent.
If we really wanted to bring Mustafi in I think this would have been done weeks ago. Valencia probably quoted us a fee that wasn't in line with what Wenger would consider spending on a defender who isn't world class. He expects to get Mats Hummels or Sergio Ramos for £30 million, not the guy who warms the bench behind the former in the national team. So now we're probably evaluating our options again in order to find someone who hits that sweet spot between age, talent, availability, resale value and quality hair.
