Arsenal has had a very busy summer transfer window, and it doesn’t seem like it will slow down soon.
The Gunners have added some impressive names to their squad in this transfer window, and more players are expected to join the squad before it shuts.
It is not just incomings that are making the news at the Emirates, we also expect some of their current options to leave the club.
Lucas Torreira has joined Bernd Leno through the exit door, and two more players could join him in leaving.
A report on Standard Sports reveals that Pablo Maria and Alex Runarsson are expected to leave next.
The Gunners are in talks to send Mari to Monza in Serie A on an initial loan deal with an option to make it permanent.
The defender was on loan at Udinese last season, and he wants to return to the Italian top flight.
Runarsson has been a bad buy, and the goalkeeper is wanted by the Turkish club, Antalyaspor.
Arsenal will happily do business with them to offload him.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Mari is too good to languish on the Arsenal bench for the rest of this season, and the best thing to do is to allow him to leave the club.
The centre-back was one of the first players we signed when Mikel Arteta joined the club, but the defenders who have arrived after him are of better quality.

A happy Arteta would have liked a couple more goals against Palace. Wouldn’t we all!

Monza wants a loan deal with option to buy while Verona want a permanent deal for Mari. I think the club and the player should pursue the permanent deal with Verona even for a small fee.
On the Outgoing side:
I wish Mari well, he has been a good servant for the club during his stay.
It seems Mari may not be the last, there might still be more players to be shown the door.
On the Incoming side:
I have been reading some of usual transfer rumor sites.
I can see us connected to wingers, defenders (including CB’s), but I cannot find any reports linking us to a top class DM or a really good goalscorer.
I wish I knew why Arteta thinks we do not need another DM, especially after our collapse at the end of last season when Partey was out.
I’ll be in the minority in feeling that Mari could have been given more time to prove himself.
I fell a little sorry for him and I wish him the best in the future.
Mari lacks pace and speed. You must have the above abilities to become a proper defender in EPL.
