Nice president Pablo Longoria knows he needs to find major cash to close a permanent deal for Arsenal defender William Saliba.
The France U21 defender has joined OGCN on a straight loan this season without any permanent option.
However, at his presentation last week, Longoria left the door open to buying Saliba outright and confirmed talks were planned with Arsenal to discuss the situation during the season.
Le 10 Sport says Longoria knows he'll have to find at least €30m to convince Arsenal to sell - the fee the Gunners paid St Etienne two years ago for the youngster.
For his part, Saliba has made it no secret he'd be open to cutting ties with Arsenal after a frustrating time on the club's books.
