BREAKING: “I Gave Everything But Arteta Doesn’t See Me as a Starter Anymore” Top Arsenal Star Set to Terminate Contract, La Liga Move Imminent
In a shocking development that has rocked the Arsenal fanbase, one of last season’s standout performers is reportedly set to terminate his contract with immediate effect, following growing frustration over his reduced role under Mikel Arteta.
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the player whose name remains undisclosed for now is not Kai Havertz and not Mikel Merino, but someone who was widely regarded by supporters as one of the club’s most consistent and impactful players last season.
“I tried everything last season. I trained hard, I delivered when called upon, I pushed myself to the limit to earn a starting spot,” the player reportedly confided to close sources. “But it’s clear now Arteta just doesn’t see me as a starter anymore. I’m not surprised, just disappointed.”
La Liga Switch Incoming
The player is now set to join a top Spanish club next week, with all parties working behind the scenes to finalize the move. Though the deal has not yet been made public, insiders believe personal terms have already been agreed, and that the player will walk away from his Arsenal contract early to facilitate the transfer.
Romano has confirmed the exit is “advanced and expected to be completed in days.”
Emotional Exit: From Fan Favourite to the Exit Door
What makes this news especially difficult for fans is the emotional attachment many had to the player in question. After a season filled with standout performances, leadership moments, and critical contributions in big games, supporters viewed him as a core figure in Arsenal’s title push.
Social media has already erupted with heartbreak and confusion:
“This guy was our engine, our heartbeat and we’re letting him go?”
“If this is true, Arteta’s decision-making needs to be questioned.”
“He carried us through tough matches and this is how it ends?”
Tactical Shift or Personal Decision?
While some reports suggest this move is purely the player’s decision due to his desire for regular football, others believe the root of the exit lies in Arteta’s tactical shift. With Arsenal targeting new midfielders and attackers this summer, it’s become increasingly clear that certain fan-favourite players have been pushed to the sidelines, regardless of past form.
One club insider noted:
“It’s not about attitude or ability this player has both. It’s about how Arteta wants his team to evolve, and sadly, he no longer fits the blueprint.”
Arsenal’s Summer Turmoil?
This departure especially if confirmed in the coming days could spark serious questions about squad management, loyalty, and Arteta’s long-term vision. With the club already under fire from pundits like Rio Ferdinand for what many see as a lacklustre transfer window, losing one of last season’s best performers will only fuel the scrutiny.
Final Thought
If this exit goes through, Arsenal will not only lose a top-tier talent they’ll lose a symbol of last season’s fighting spirit. It’s a painful reminder that in modern football, sentiment often takes a backseat to strategy.
All eyes are now on Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar as they face a growing storm of transfer pressure, tactical reshaping, and fan frustration.
