Agent answers questions on alleged Arsenal interest | OneFootball

Cristian Pavón’s agent has poured cold water over Arsenal’s reported interest in the winger.

Speaking to Radio La Red, Fernando Hidalgo said the Gunners haven’t made an offer for Pavón, who has a release clause in his Boca Juniors contract.

“There is still nothing official from Arsenal,” Hildago revealed.

“Pavón informed Boca’s hierarchy about his desire to stay and play in the Copa Libertadores.”

Arsenal were linked with Pavón, who featured for Argentina during their disappointing World Cup campaign.

At the time, Boca president Daniel Angelici left the door open for a potential move.

“For the moment, we have not received any proposal, formally or informally,”Angelici said.

“I know very well what I said to Cristian when we renewed his contract. I am not going to cut off his career, but we made him a nice contract so that he would be comfortable.

“We put a release clause in the contract just in case clubs like this appear. It’s then the player who has the last word. He looks fine to me, very focused on 2018 with Boca Juniors.

“We always help him with his future, but I trust Pavón will be with us for 2018.”

At least for the time being, it appears the winger won’t be pushing through a move.
