Pablo Mari: Arsenal center-back completes permanent move to AC Monza

Arsenal Defender Pablo Mari Joins Italian Side AC Monza

In a surprising turn of events, Arsenal defender Pablo Mari has made a permanent move to Italian side AC Monza. The transfer comes after the 29-year-old initially joined the Gunners on loan from Flamengo before making his stay permanent.

Successful Loan Spell with AC Monza

Mari spent the entirety of last season on loan with AC Monza, and was instrumental in helping the newly-promoted club secure an impressive 11th place finish in Serie A. Despite facing setbacks along the way, including being stabbed while at a supermarket during his loan spell with Monza, Mari showed tremendous strength and courage during his recovery.

Support from Arsenal Teammates

The impact of Mari’s injury was felt deeply by his teammates at Arsenal. In October 2022, ahead of their match against Nottingham Forest, Arsenal players held up a shirt bearing Mari’s name as a show of support for their teammate who was still recovering. This display highlighted not only their solidarity but also their admiration for him.

Farewell Message from Arsenal Club

Arsenal released a statement on their official website expressing gratitude to Mari for his contributions to the club and wishing him well in this new chapter of his career:

“Pablo showed tremendous strength and courage last year to recover from an attack which injured him in Milan in October 2022. We’re all so happy that Pablo is now back to full fitness. We thank Pablo for his contribution to the club and wish him and his family the best of health and happiness in their new chapter.”

Looking Ahead

Mari’s move to AC Monza marks an exciting new phase in his career. As he joins forces with the Italian side, fans will be eagerly watching as he strives to make a significant impact on the pitch.
