Cedric Soares to leave Arsenal in June as free agent

Cedric Soares will pack his bags at the end of the season. The Portuguese full-back will leave Arsenal once the transfer window opens, according to transfer market journalist Fabrizio Romano. 

The 32-year-old's current contract with the Gunners expires in June 2024 so he will leave the English club as a free agent and according to the Italian journalist several European clubs are reportedly interested in adding Soares to their ranks as they see him as a bargain at zero cost. 

The decision has already been made but the Portuguese will remain fully committed to the Emirates Stadium outfit until the end of the season, as Romano has reported. However, he has not been playing much of an important role in Mikel Arteta's plans so far this season. 

The right-back has made just five official appearances for the Gunners this season, one of them as a starter, having played a total of 124 minutes so far this season.
