Arsenal are interested in signing Bayern Munich full-back Rafinha this summer, and have made a contract offer to the Brazilian, something which rekindles interest confirmed to Inside Futbol when interviewing the defender this season.

The 30-year-old full-back’s contract with the Bavarians expires at the end of next season, and there are suggestions that the German champions could be ready to offload him during the summer transfer window.




And according to German magazine Sport Bild, Arsenal have already made their move to take the Brazilian to the Emirates with a three-year contract offer pushed towards the veteran defender.

Arsene Wenger has seen another challenge for the league title collapse this season, and is keen to add more experience to his Arsenal side in the transfer window in order to prepare for the 2016/17 campaign.
 


Rafinha, who could leave Bayern Munich in the summer, is closely studying the offer from the Gunners and is expected to provide an answer to the Premier League giants soon.
