Arsenal suffers a shock with the announced departure of its sporting director, Edu, who has played a key role in the restructuring of the club since 2019. Responsible for high-profile recruitments such as Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice, as well as managing departures strategic (notably Aubameyang), Edu was a pillar of the Gunners’ revival and an unwavering support of Mikel Arteta. His departure comes at a delicate time, as Arsenal continues to perform poorly in the league.
An uncertain future for Edu, possible rapprochement with Marinakis
Edu could join Greek businessman Evangelos Marinakis, owner of Nottingham Forest, Olympiacos, and Rio Ave, with whom he is said to be in discussions. The news took Arsenal by surprise, and although the club is in 5th position in the Premier League, the absence of Edu could weaken Arteta, who loses a major ally within the Gunners management.
