“I wanted to clarify something on players who could leave Arsenal this summer. As I reported yesterday, Cedric Soares is not going to extend his contract at Arsenal – it’s over between the player and the club, and there is not even a conversation to extend his contract. It’s 100% going to be time for them to part ways at the end of this season,”-Expert: Turkish clubs have demonstrated interest in the Arsenal star who is leaving on a free transfer.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal’s full-back, Cedric Soares, appears poised to attract interest from Turkish clubs as he prepares to depart the Emirates Stadium on a free transfer during the upcoming summer window. Romano indicates that Besiktas is among the Turkish clubs expressing interest in the Portuguese defender. Soares had previously declined offers from Turkish clubs to extend his stay with Arsenal. However, Romano now asserts that Soares will indeed leave Arsenal at the conclusion of his current contract.

The 32-year-old is expected to delay making a decision on his next destination, as there are currently no concrete arrangements in place. Romano, speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his Daily Briefing column, confirms that Soares will definitively exit north London, with no discussions underway regarding a contract extension. Romano’s statement clarifies any uncertainty surrounding Soares’ future, emphasizing that there is absolutely no prospect of him staying at Arsenal beyond this season.

In summary, Cedric Soares is set to depart Arsenal as a free agent in the summer, with Turkish clubs expressing interest in acquiring his services, as reported by Romano.
