Why Sven Mislintat is leaving Arsenal: Four Key Reasons

Bayern Munich want to sign Arsenal’s head of recruitment, Sven Mislintat and believe they can reach a deal for him before the start of the summer transfer window, according to the Independent. Mislintat left a similar role at Borussia Dortmund to join the Gunners last year. He has reportedly put forward strong recommendations for players that have not been followed up, with Unai Emery taking a more active role in transfers than was anticipated. Bayern feel an overhaul of their current system is needed, and have identified Mislintat as the man to lead it. Nevertheless, Why Mislintat is leaving Arsenal? Mirror Football provide four key reasons behind the breakdown in a relationship.
  • The German played a key role in bringing in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan last January but Arsenal now have little or no budget and there is disillusionment all around.
  • Mislintat was hailed as a major coup for Arsenal when he arrived but the major changes behind the scenes at the club mean he is now working with a different manager and hierarchy at the club. There have been suggestions that Mislintat feels that his toes are being trodden on.
  • It is believed that Mislintat’s targets do not necessarily tally with Emery’s transfer wish list.
  • With a technical director set to be appointed, that looks to be the cue for another potential departure. Mislintat expressed an interest in the role but has reportedly been overlooked.
