Marcelo Flores on the brink of Arsenal departure, set to join Mexican champions Tigres

Marcelo Flores is edging closer to an exit from the Emirates, with Mexican side Tigres UANL close to sealing a deal for the young talent. A move that offers Flores a fresh start in his homeland.

• Marcelo Flores is on the verge of leaving Arsenal for Mexican side Tigres UANL, with the move said to be only hours away.
• Tigres UANL‘s board sees Flores as a future star and decided to adjust their transfer plans to accommodate this sudden opportunity.

A changing landscape at the Emirates

While Marcelo Flores was once considered a future star in North London, the winds appear to have shifted in his favour back in Mexico.

According to reliable sources, Tigres UANL have jumped at the opportunity to sign the youngster, viewing him as a future cornerstone of their squad.

The club’s board expressed strong interest in securing his services and envisage a bright path for him should his development continue as they hope.

The Details: A matter of hours

Time seems of the essence.

Inside reports indicate it’s merely a “matter of hours” before the move becomes official.

Milenio suggests that Flores could even arrive in the city this weekend.

Despite not initially planning any more signings, Tigres decided to change tack after the agency representing Flores presented them with this opportunity.

The bigger picture for Flores

“The agency that represents Flores approached the Tigres board and gave them the option of Marcelo, since it is the same one that represents his sisters, Silvana and Tatiana, and Marcelo is the only man they have among their footballers,” revealed a source to Channel 6 Sports.

“The option for Tigres was more than interesting in every way, one, because he is Mexican, because of his age since he will only turn 20 in October.

“The second because it would be a purchase at a low price and third because in the future he could to be a player who establishes himself and is a reference for the team, without losing the projection of one day returning to Europe.”

The agent responsible for representing Flores and his sisters, Silvana and Tatiana, who were also at Arsenal previously, made a persuasive pitch, focusing on Flores’ Mexican heritage and young age; he will turn 20 in October.

Concluding thoughts

With this prospective move, Marcelo Flores hopes to rejuvenate his career in a setting that appreciates his talent and offers him the chance to evolve into a pivotal player.

For Arsenal, this exit may cast a spotlight on their youth development policy, but it does free up space for others in the burgeoning youth system.
