Arsenal are demanding £8.8m for Laurent Koscielny this summer following his recent refusal to join the club on their pre-season tour.
Koscielny has made it abundantly clear that he wishes to leave Arsenal this summer after nine years at the club, but the Gunners are refusing to let him cancel his contract - which is set to expire next summer - due to their current lack of defensive options.
It was recently reported that Bordeaux have offered Koscielny a three-year deal to join them in France, but the Ligue 1 outfit are yet to submit a formal offer for the 33-year-old.
