Arsenal are open to selling Marquinhos in the January transfer window and are hoping to offload Fabio Vieira and Nuno Tavares in the summer.
Mikel Arteta is keen to make changes to his squad and get rid of some players in a bid to keep up with their fellow Premier League title rivals.
That’s according to the Daily Mail, who report that Arsenal will consider offers for Vieira and Marquinhos, with both men free to leave the Emirates.
Tavares, who is on a season-long loan at Lazio, is likely to leave Arsenal at the end of the current campaign.
Italian side Lazio have an obligation to sign Tavares permanently – provided certain conditions are met – but even if it isn’t triggered, Arsenal will try to sell him in the next summer transfer window.
Tavares has only played 28 games for Arsenal since they signed the Portuguese left-back from Benfica in 2021 in a deal worth £7m.
He was loaned to French side Marseille for the 2022-23 season and then Nottingham Forest the following campaign.
Vieira could also be heading for the Arsenal exit door once his season-long loan at Porto has concluded.
Arsenal paid £32m to sign Vieira from Porto in the summer of 2022 but he has flopped with just three goals and nine assists in 42 games.
Speaking last year, Gunners legend Paul Merson insisted that Vieira was not ‘good enough’ to play for Arsenal.
Marquinhos could leave Arsenal sooner than Tavares and Vieira if any offers come in for the 21-year-old Brazilian in January.
Arsenal signed Marquinhos for £3m from São Paulo in June 2022 but he’s only played six games for the north Londoners.
Marquinhos has been loaned out three times since his move to the Emirates with spells at Norwich City, Nantes and Fluminense.
