Ajax would also stand to benefit, given they negotiated 10 percent of a resale more than €25m, receiving up to €4m.

Regardless, the Giallorossi bought the winger for €17.25m in the summer of 2018 and will therefore raise around €20m in capital gains, ensuring a strong profit on their balance sheet.

The 21-year-old has scored seven goals and provided three assists in 27 games this season, with the Gunners loanee managing six strikes in 20 games.
