Arsenal is in talks with Stuttgart about extending the loan deal of Konstantinos Mavropanos at the German side.
He has spent this season on loan with the Bundesliga team and has been in fine form for them.
He joined Arsenal in 2018, but he hasn’t been able to become a regular at the Emirates just yet.
He has spent the last two seasons on loan at German sides as he bids to get more playing time.
His career has progressed well and he even earned a call up to the Greek national team at the start of this year.
There is still no guarantee that he would be a regular if he returns to Arsenal in the summer and the Gunners are now looking to keep him in Germany for a further campaign.
The 23-year-old has done well for Stuttgart and continuous regular playing time will possibly help Arsenal eventually get a quality player for their team or make good money from his sale.
Sven Mislintat is the sporting director for the German side and he has just revealed that they are talking with Arsenal to extend his loan spell.
Speaking to Kicker, Mislintat said: “[We are] in good talks with my ex-club. We are trying to get a loan.
“Buying is difficult in the current situation. Now there is a bit of back and forth.”
So Saliba comes back to replace David Luiz when he walks on a free, Dino off for another loan which would be good if he signs a new deal as he does have potential.
Holding Mari Gabriel Saliba
Our 4 CBs for next year?
We need an overhaul of players to leave in Kola, Eddie, Lucas, Matteo, Mo, Bellerin, AMN, Willian plus Auba or Laca. Cabellos goes back to Madrid along with Martin unless he wants to stay which would be great. Still Willock to consider what to do with?
Holding Mari Gabriel Saliba
four young and inexperience Centre backs
they will still need time to form a good partnership and team work
better pace and is a much better passer of the ball than Holding, so bring him and Saliba back into the fold and let’s finally get this “rebuild” going…we already wasted this year on the ego-driven whims of our young grasshopper of a manager and look where that got us…isn’t it about time we finally acted like a real professional organization
