According to an exclusive report today by the British media outlet footballtransfers, Arsenal has decided not to renew Thomas’ contract, and he will leave the club as a free agent at the end of the 2024-25 season.
The report states that Thomas’ current contract with Arsenal will expire next summer. He earns approximately £200,000 per week and will not be offered a new contract. Thomas is a Ghanaian international who plays as a midfielder. In 2020, he joined Arsenal from Atletico Madrid for a transfer fee of £45 million, becoming an important part of Arsenal’s midfield since then.
However, in the last season, Thomas was plagued by continuous injuries. Approaching his 32nd birthday, he missed most of the games. In fact, even during his better seasons, he missed multiple matches due to hamstring, thigh, and ankle injuries, which prevented him from consistently maintaining his best form.
Thomas may not lack suitors, however. Last summer, a club from Saudi Arabia showed interest in him. If he leaves next year, there is a good chance he will move to Saudi Arabia. For the player, this would mean a significant salary increase. For Arsenal, if they were to let Thomas go this year, they hope to receive a substantial transfer fee that could aid in strengthening the squad.
