Arsenal are willing to loan Wojciech Szczesny out to Roma this summer but are not keen to bear part of his wage, according to Italian daily Corriere dello Sport.
Following Petr Cech’s arrival at Arsenal last summer, the Polish goalkeeper dropped further down the pecking order at the Emirates and the club decided to loan him out to Roma for the rest of the season.
The 26-year-old shot-stopper has found success at Roma and has been the number one choice between the posts for the club, making 40 appearances in all competitions this season.
Roma coach Luciano Spalletti has been impressed by Szczesny’s performances and wants to keep the goalkeeper at the Stadio Olimpico next season.
The goalkeeper himself wants to continue at the club and recently said that Roma and Arsenal are in talks to decide his future beyond the summer.
