Monza and Verona are keen to sign Pablo Mari from Arsenal this summer after his impressive loan stint at Udinese last term.
The Spaniard was one of the first players Arsenal added to their squad when Mikel Arteta became their manager.
He showed his abilities to defend well and play from the back, but injuries limited him.
The Gunners then added the likes of Gabriel Magalhaes and Ben White to their squad.
These arrivals pushed him further down the pecking order at the Emirates, and he had to leave on loan.
That move proved inspiring, and he could now earn Arsenal some good money when he leaves.
Sky Sports Italia reports that his performance in Serie A left an impression on newly-promoted Monza and Verona. Both clubs want to add him to their squad.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Mari will hardly play this season and the arrival of William Saliba has pushed him even further down the pecking order.
We can send him out on loan, but the ideal situation would be to sell him or send him out on loan with an obligation to buy.
Since he has already proved his worth in the Italian top flight, he is very likely to make an impact if he returns to a club in the competition.
£11m – Guendouzi
£8 – Leno
£7.5m – Torreira (with add ons)
£3m – Dino
£0 – Bellerin, contract cancelled
It will be interesting to see how much of the nigh on reported £18,000,000 Mikel paid for Mari we will get back.
Of course, we will save on the reported four year £4,600,000 a year contract that Mikel awarded him.
As they say in that old game show “Come on down, the price is right and we’re giving away lots of bargains”.
Or as the great David Dicko would say “cheap as chips”
So mikel is the one negotiating and awarding contract?
Yes my friend, just as Wenger was.
OT;torreira in turkey for his medical.
Are you certain?any pics or videos of him arriving in Turkey??
No pics but announcement imminent.
Any comment on Pablo Mari Fk?
Torriera was not in Turkey for his medical.
What makes you say that Reggie??
Because he wasn’t Si.
Gabriel Magalhais, Pablo Mari and Ben White are average defenders, only Saliba is the modern defender @Arsenal has at the moment, we should get another world class defender
Eloka, Utter nonsense about GABRIEL AND WHITE . You seem unaware that top clubs like Juventus are keen to land GABRIEL, though we will, correctly, NOT LET HIM GO.
Are you even a Gooner, as your post reads like that of a Spud!
