The 30-year-old is one of those candidates who are expected to leave the Allianz Arena and his representatives have been made aware that the Gunners have offered him a three-year contract on the table in a bid to bring the player to the English Premier League.

Having made 21 starts for the Bavarians in all competitions so far this season, the South American joined the German champions from Genoa in 2011 and has won a plethora of honours with Bayern – including three league titles and the Champions League silverware.

Rafinha is set to turn 31 in September, it is unlikely that the north Londoners would have to pay a lucrative deal to land him at the Emirates.
