Konstantinos Mavropanos has told Bild that he is ready to leave Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal for good and move to Stuttgart on a permanent basis.
Mavropanos has been on loan at Stuttgart from Arsenal since the summer of 2020.
The Greece international central defender has said that he is happy at the German club.
The 23-year-old has added that he can see himself stay at Stuttgart beyond his loan spell.
What Konstantinos Mavropanos has said
Mavropanos told BILD when asked if it is his wish to stay: “Of course I can imagine that.
“But we have to wait and see. For me, everything is perfect at the moment. The club and the city.”
No Arsenal future for Konstantinos Mavropanos
In our view, Mavropanos does not have a long-term future at Arsenal.
It is not because the defender is not good, but because Arsenal have so many central defenders on their books.
Ben White and Gabriel have established themselves as the main centre-back pairing under Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta at the moment.
William Saliba is also out on loan at Marseille.
Mavropanos has been at Arsenal since 2018, but the youngster has made only seven appearances in the Premier League.
The defender was first on loan at 1. FC Nürnberg.
And now he is in his second season on loan at Stuttgart.
Also, remember Mavropanos – who earns £25,000 per week as salary, according to The Mirror – is 23 now.
The Stuttgart no. 5 has scored three goals in nine Bundesliga appearances so far this season.
