Some Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that Shkodran Mustafi is in talks over ending his contract early.

According to Football.London, Mustafi is in talks with Arsenal over having his contract terminated early so that he can leave on a free.

The German central defender’s current deal runs out at the end of the season, and clubs in Germany and Italy are interested in him, according to the report.

According to the report, Arsenal paid Valencia £35 million in transfer fees to sign the 28-year-old in 2016.

The Germany international has not played since Boxing Day, and with Rob Holding, David Luiz and Gabriel ahead of him in the pecking order, the former Valencia star is going to struggle for playing time between now and the end of the season.

Terminating Mustafi’s contract now means that Arsenal will not get any transfer fee if he joins another club, but they could also save on his wages for the next few months.

Some Arsenal fans have given their take on speculation on the future of Mustafi, and below are some of the best comments on Twitter:
