Arsene Wenger will meet with the agent of Mario Balotelli in Brazil, to swiftly try and tie up a deal for the Italian forward.
Balotelli is reportedly keen on a move back to England, having spent three years at Manchester City, before leaving in 2013, and heading back to the Italian Serie A with AC Milan in the January of that year.
And Wenger is keen to tie up a deal for the £25 million rated forward, whilst he is also in Brazil.
The Arsenal boss has been doing some media work for French Television.
Agent Mino Raiola is now seeking a £150,000-a-week deal for Balotelli, aged 24, with Puma set to fund part of his wages, and the transfer, due to their new kit deal with Arsenal heading into next season.
Balotelli was linked with a move to Chelsea, however Arsenal are now favourites to land the player, who is reportedly unhappy at AC Milan.
