Pablo Mari set for Arsenal escape route as Mikel Arteta faces crunch decision

Udinese sporting director says the club "will try" to extend Arsenal centre-back Pablo Mari's stay following an initial loan spell.

The Spaniard made the £7million move to the Emirates from two-time Copa Libertadores winners Flamengo in 2020, in a move which started off on a loan basis before he put pen-to-paper that same year. But after failing to establish himself in the team for the last two years, he was loaned out to Udinese for more game time in the past January transfer window.

Mari, who only made 20 appearances for the Gunners during that time, has found a breath of fresh air in Italy. The 28-year-old has started in all 11 games in the Serie A since his move.
