Arsenal are ready to open talks with Chelsea for the transfer of Nemanja Matic to the Emirates and that of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Stamford Bridge.
Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed that the Gunners are ready to offload the England international in a bid to bring the strong Serbian to the club.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool this summer.
But the Reds have failed to reach a financial agreement with the North Londoners.
Matic, 28, has been linked with a move to Manchester United but even in this case no financial agreement was reached.
Chelsea are desperate to sign a winger this summer and the 23-year-old would be an asset for manager Antonio Conte.
Arsenal and Chelsea are expected to meet in the coming days the open negotiations.
