Arsenal have confirmed the departure of Pablo Mari to AC Monza.

Monza had reached an agreement to sign the on-loan defender before the end of last season. The Gunners have now confirmed the deal.

Mari made a successful playing return at Monza after being stabbed at a local shopping centre in the first-half of the season.

Arsenal announced on Friday: "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."
