Patino has been decent on loan at Blackpool.
Charlie Patino still wants a transfer away from Arsenal this summer. Famous Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano also confirmed that the North London club would be keen to have a buy-back clause as part of any deal for him to leave.
He has long been highly rated under Mikel Arteta, but it seems he’s keen on a new challenge, according to Romano in the latest edition of his exclusive CaughtOffside column.
Patino has been decent on loan at Blackpool, and it perhaps makes sense that he now feels it’s worth leaving the Gunners in order to play more regular first-team football.
Arsenal won’t want to let go of such a promising talent, who could go on to be a future prospect elsewhere and perhaps attract interest from their rivals in the future.
Arsenal would insist on a buy-back clause, as Romano has made clear in his latest update. “I’ve had quite a few fans asking me about the situation with Charlie Patino. There was the recent revelation that he wanted to leave, and although it’s gone quiet, my understanding is that the situation remains the same: he wants a new challenge and a permanent exit,” Romano said.
“From Arsenal’s perspective, they would ideally like a buy-back clause included in any potential deal, for sure.”
