Following the sale of Lucas Torreira to Galatasaray, Arsenal are hoping to secure two further exits in the remaining days of the summer transfer window with Pablo Mari and Rúnar Alex Rúnarsson both set for the exit door at the Emirates.
Torreira, who joined Arsenal from Sampdoria for a fee in the region of £26 million back in 2018 will leave the club for an initial £5 million, with up to £1.5 million expected to come in add ons following his move to Istanbul. He was one of the players who did not feature in Mikel Arteta's plans following successive loan moves, firstly to Atlético Madrid and then Fiorentina last season.
The Uruguayan had just 12 months left on his contract meaning the transfer was necessitated by the club's need to secure a fee for the 26-year-old rather than losing him for free next term. Now, two more players who spent last season out on loan look set to be pushed towards a move away from North London, with both Mari and Runarsson seemingly also out of Mikel Arteta's plans going forward.
