Former Arsenal technical director gives big condition to new suitors

Former Arsenal head of recruitment Sven Mislintat is reported to be linked with a move to Italian Serie A outfit AS Roma as their technical director.

The Italian Serie A outfit parted ways with their sporting director Monchi as he is currently with the Spanish La Liga outfit Sevilla after turning down a move to the North London outfit Arsenal.

It is claimed that has issued strong conditions to AS Roma before picking up the job as he is ready to avoid the bad experience he had with Arsenal as he had most of his ideas overruled by head of football Raul Sanllehi.
