Omar Rekik has officially parted ways with Arsenal after the club agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent. The young defender, who had been with the Gunners since 2021, is now a free agent, seeking new opportunities to advance his career.
The news was confirmed by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who revealed that Rekik had specifically requested to leave Mikel Arteta’s side during the summer transfer window. Despite his potential, the Tunisian international struggled to break into the first team, prompting his decision to explore new avenues.
“Omar Rekik is no longer an Arsenal player as his contract was terminated by mutual agreement yesterday,” Romano tweeted on Saturday. “Rekik is now available as a free agent after his specific request to leave and try a new chapter.”
Rekik’s departure marks the end of a brief stint at Arsenal, where he was largely seen as a promising talent for the future. With his contract now terminated, the 21-year-old will be looking to restart his career elsewhere, with several clubs likely to be interested in securing his services.
