Sky Sports News confirmed the news on its official website on Monday, November 4, 2024. According to reports, Edu had been away in Brazil on personal matters and arrived back late last week.
The Brazilian has been a key part of Arsenal’s transfers since he joined as the club’s technical director in July 2019 before becoming the club’s first-ever sporting director in November 2022. He has been responsible for the signings of Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice.
Only Chelsea and Manchester United have spent more since Edu arrived at the club having spent £867m and have won the FA Cup while finishing as runners-up behind Manchester City in the last two Premier League seasons.
The group of clubs Edu might be joining Nottingham Forest, Olympiacos and Rio Ave – and, in the future, potentially a fourth club they are looking to buy in Europe. Arsenal supporters will hope that the void that he will be leaving behind will not be a big blow to the club.
