ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY: Arsenal have already sealed the move for £96million striker and the deal will be announced shortly
Arsenal are set to bank over £2.5million by Marquinhos joining Cruzeiro.
The 22-year-old winger is currently on loan at the Brazilian club but he will join them permanently, with the deal including a fee for Arsenal.
Marquinhos joined the Gunners in 2022 from Sao Paulo after they beat Wolves to his signature.
The Brazilian scored his only goal for Arsenal in the first half of that season, finding the net in a 2-1 win over FC Zurich in the Europa League.
But he struggled for action and was loaned out to Norwich in January 2023 after making just one Premier League appearance for Arsenal.
Marquinhos old has been loaned out three more times since then, having spells at Nantes, Fluminense and, most recently, Cruzeiro.
Marquinhos joined Cruzeiro on loan in January of this year and the deal was due to run until December, which is when the season in Brazil ends.
But he is now all set to join Cruzeiro and end his time with Arsenal.
The Gunners are set for a busy summer transfer window, with a new striker their top priority after they failed to sign one in each of the past two windows.
Mikel Arteta also wants a new wide player.
