Denis Suarez is finally set to complete his loan move to Arsenal after Barcelona re-opened talks over a January switch, sources have confirmed to ESPN FC.

Talks broke down last week after negotiations reached a stalemate with Arsenal only wanting to sign Denis on loan. Barca were willing to let the midfielder leave temporarily, but only if any prospective deal included an obligatory option to buy. However, with the player keen to push through a switch to London, Barcelona have found a workaround. Denis will join Arsenal on an initial six-month loan, with the Premier League club paying a small fee up front. They will then have an option to sign the former Manchester City youngster for around €20 million at the end of the campaign.

But the Catalan club will prolong Denis’ contract by an additional year until 2021, which they believe will protect his sell-on value should Arsenal choose not to make the deal permanent in the summer.

Barcelona would have preferred to sell Denis this month, and had offers worth more than €15m from both Real Betis and Sevilla, but the player was set on a reunion with Arsenal coach Unai Emery, who he previously played under while on loan at Sevilla four years ago. (ESPN)
