AC Milan has added Arsenal’s Pablo Mari to their transfer shortlist ahead of the new season.
The defender spent the last campaign out on loan at Udinese in the Italian top flight.
He did well and his performances in that competition caught the attention of some clubs.
Udinese would love to keep him in their team, but they cannot afford him.
This has opened the door for other clubs to sign him, and Milan is considering making an offer to Arsenal.
The Serie A champions want a new defender and they are also considering a transfer for Tottenham’s Japhet Tanganga, according to a report on Sport Witness.
However, it claims they consider Mari much more experienced and better placed to deliver fine performances for them.
Just Arsenal Opinion
The arrival of William Saliba in this transfer window means Mari has even more competition for a place to contend with at Arsenal.
The former Manchester City man will be keen to get as many playing minutes as he can this season, and that will hardly come his way at Arsenal.
It is now left for Milan to table an acceptable offer for his signature to the Gunners.
If both clubs can agree on a transfer fee, he should get a new home soon.
This was a very strange signing, can we get close to what we paid?
He cost 5.4 mil. He cost a 7 mil loan fee too but seeing as noone bothers to count the multiple loan fees when discussing guendouzi or torreira and such not sure why we would here.
I think there was a screenshot of Flamengos finances where it stated that Maris loan was 2 million?
Anyhows, very strange signing indeed.
It’s true for Mari to leave because we need qualify players only
When was the last time our player was wanted by a reigning champ? Please do not tell me about Mesut, pity Fener lost their lead after . Mikel has turned things around, Marri by ACMilan, Gabby wanted by Juve, Tavares by Marseille. Mikel’s signings are worth !
I hope and believe the dismal days of signing so many deadwood players , many of them woefully still here, as the market has collapsed since Covid, are now hopefully behind us.
I refer to such as MARI, ELNENY, XHAKA, SOARES, HOLDING, etc.
There are others too like Bellerin who came here when very young but who plainly never had the first clue how to defend, who OUGHT to have been shifted long before even Emery came here, let alone MA.
Without wishing to reopen the long runningand tedious Wenger debate , I cannot forget that MOST of the ones I LIST , were brought in by him!
And now are very difficult or even next to impossible , to shift, save for peanuts or nothing at all. Sigh!
