Arsenal have reportedly agreed to offload Konstantinos Mavropanos to Stuttgart on a permanent deal, even if the Bundesliga club suffer relegation this term.
The 24-year-old has made a name for himself at Stuttgart since arriving on loan in the summer of 2020, registering five goals and one assist in 45 matches across all tournaments.
Mavropanos's obligation to buy clause will be triggered if Stuttgart survive relegation, but Die Roten are currently below the dotted line in 17th and four points adrift of safety.
However, football.london reports that Mavropanos will seal a permanent move to Stuttgart in the summer transfer window even if they are demoted to the 2. Bundesliga.
The report adds that Arsenal possess a 10% sell-on clause in the deal, and they can expect to pocket £2.5m for the Greek's sale, four-and-a-half years after forking out £1.9m to sign him from PAS Giannina.
Mavropanos - who is also believed to have been on the radars of Borussia Dortmund and West Ham United - prepares to leave Arsenal after making eight senior appearances for the club in all competitions.
Marseille president Pablo Longoria has also confirmed that Matteo Guendouzi will join the club on a permanent basis from Arsenal ahead of the 2022-23 season.
