Arsenal face Man Utd battle for Roma sporting director
Arsenal want Monchi to be their next technical director after sounding out the candidates.
The Roma sporting director is hugely respected within the game and worked previously with Unai Emery at Sevilla.
Reports in Italy suggest that Roma are already looking at replacements for Monchi with Inter’s Sporting Director Piero Ausilio said to be in the frame.
But Arsenal could face competition for Monchi from Manchester United who are also looking for a director of football. Paris Saint Germain could also be interested.
Arsenal have also got former winger Marc Overmars on the shortlist but the Ajax director of football lacks Monchi’s top level experience.
Arsenal have also explored English options with Red Bull Leipzig’s Paul Mitchell having been sounded out but Monchi and Overmars are the leading contenders.
Svlen Mislintat left Arsenal earlier this month after being passed over for the top job.
Arsenal are back in Europa League action on Thursday night as they take on BATE.
Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil have both not travelled for the first leg of the knockout tie.
