Arsenal fans say ‘we’re finally starting to act serious’ as astonishing clause is included in departing star’s transfer

ARSENAL fans have hailed the club after a clause in Marquinhos' move was revealed.

The winger is currently out on loan at Brazilian outfit Fluminense.

Marquinhos, 20, spent the first half of the season out on loan at Ligue 1 side Nantes.

He made seven appearances for the club in the league but failed to score or assist.

In January, Marquinhos returned to Arsenal only to be loaned out again, this time back to Brazil.

Fabrizio Romano has now reported that Fluminense could buy the winger in the summer transfer window.

The claims that the Gunners have inserted a 50 per cent sell-on clause should that happen.

This means that the club would get half of any potential sale of the youngster in the future.

Arsenal fans have since praised the club's forward-thinking when it comes to the player's future.

One posted: "We finally starting to act serious."

A fourth said: "That sounds like a smart move by Arsenal!"

Another added: "Arsenal is finally learning how to do business."

Marquinhos has made one appearance for the club since his arrival in February.

The Sao Paulo-born ace made six appearances during his time at Arsenal, scoring once and assisting one goal.

Both of his contributions came in the Europa League clash against FC Zurich in 2022.
