After the 19-year-old winger turned down three contract renewal offers, Sao Paulo and Arsenal agreed to a £3 million agreement earlier this week.

In 2019, the winger signed a five-year contract with the Brazilian club, but FIFA determined that the contract was only valid for three years due to typical regulations for players signing their first professional contract.

Mikel Arteta has signed a five-year contract with Arsenal, which runs until 2027, according to ace football journalist Fabrizio Romano.

According to the report, the Brazilian is regarded as a developmental signing who will gradually rise to the Gunners’ first squad.

Marquinhos made his first-team debut against Flamengo in July of last year, and in 40 senior appearances for Sao Paulo, he has four goals and three assists.

He’s also represented Brazil’s Under-17s three times.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
