Pablo Mari has made it perfectly clear to Arsenal that he does not want to return following his loan move to Udinese.
The defender linked up with the Italian club during the January transfer window after losing his place in Mikel Arteta 's back line. Since the switch, Mari has made eight appearances for Udinese and is now keen to remain with the Serie A side, despite having a contract at the Emirates for another two years.
Having signed for Arsenal in a £7million transfer deal in 2020 from Brazilian side Flamengo after an initial loan spell, the 28-year-old recently failed to rule out the prospect of a return. Now, though, Mari has told the Gunners that he does indeed want to stay in Italy beyond the current campaign.
