The stopper made his name in England as he became a cult hero at Arsenal.

He appeared in 132 Premier League games for the Gunners between 2009 and 2017.

But he then left the club in a £ 10.4 million transfer to the Italian giants and was originally the backup to legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.

However, the stopper became the first choice just a year later after Buffon moved to Paris Saint-Germain.

And eh is now reportedly set to leave the club on a free transfer.

Fabrizio Romano has claimed that he and Juventus have agreed to terminate his contract.

The report adds that all paperwork is being prepared and checked.

It also claimed that the former Gunner is set for an “important pay-out fee”.

The Serie A season is set to start this weekend with Juventus starting their campaign against newly promoted Como.

Manager Thiago Motta will now have to pick between summer loan arrival Michele Di Gregorio or Mattia Perin to start between the sticks.

Juventus also have Stefano Gori and Carlo Pinsoglio to choose from in the goalkeeping department.

Former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, meanwhile, will be on the hunt for a new club and was linked with a shock return to the Gunners back in May.

It was only in October 2023, that former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri claimed that the goalkeeper was one of the “best in the world”.
