Arsenal is set to lose some of the money they will make from the sale of Pablo Mari to his former club.
The Spaniard joined them from Flamengo as one of Mikel Arteta’s first signings, but he has since lost his first-team place, which made them sanction his loan move to Monza at the beginning of this term.
The Italian side agreed to make the move permanent if they secured their top-flight status.
A solid run of form this year has effectively guaranteed them safety and Arsenal is set to pocket some money from his departure.
However, a report on Odia reveals his former club, Flamengo, will get 40% of the money the Gunners will receive because of an agreement both clubs had when he initially joined the Gunners.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Mari could easily have left Arsenal as a free agent, so we would not be worried about the percentage we will send to Flamengo.
We are a much bigger club, and his transfer is not a major one for us. It is great that he has found a new home where he can play regularly because he is a lovely character.
A happy Arteta enjoys great win over Chelsea – “We are still top with four games to go!”

What a horrible business overall. It even looks suspicious because this is not just the usual incompetence we are used to see from Edu, but also because who the hell caves into a 40% sell on clause in the case you sell for less than what the player initially cost.
We as fanbase shouldn’t keep justifying Edu’s business. It’s not sustainable for the club long term wise.
I believe that Sanhelli might have been involved
Personally, I can forgive Arteta for once again bottling things up. What I can’t forgive is the ineptitude of Edu, as good as Pep is, the administration at Man city is top notch. Even Wenger had David Dien who kept him honest. Let’s take a look at Edu’s signings.
Apart from Martinelli and Saliba. I truly can’t see the magical signings that have been done. Even in Brazil that should be his home turf we are yet to get top talent from that part of the world, leaving us wondering what of the famed Edu links we have heard so much about. On the contrary this is a lazy negotiator who has signed players like Pepe, David Luiz, Cedric, Willian, Viera, Lokonga ,etc. Then there is Vinai who looks like a timid version of Shelly from Ted Lasso. How do you let Nelson’s contract to run down, Patino being allowed to leave for peanuts, Saliba contract not sorted, Tierney’s new situation and a host of other gaffs. When i see players, we are linked with i can only think of us struggling next season. Once upon a time we used to sign players at cheap and make them world beaters. Now we have to beg Brighton to help us scout players. The entire Brighton first 11 cost less than what we payed for Ramsdale, Jesus and White.
I really like your contribution over this, making good sence to all
