The Bundesliga 2 outfit released a claiming their current financial situation meant they can’t afford to keep the Bosnian.

He was released back to the Gunners alongside, Jan-Klaas Huntelaar, who is now a free agent.

Following his return to N5, Kolasinac has just a year left on his current deal. The 27-year-old has received interest from clubs in and over a proposed transfer this summer.

Kolasinac has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium. He was loaned out to Schalke as a result, earning relegation from the Bundesliga.

Arsenal made quite the statement in the January window by letting Kolasinac leave.

His departure meant the club were without an out-and-out left-back for the second half of the season. Following Kieran Tierney’s injury in the loss to Liverpool, Granit Xhaka was asked to fill in for the Scotsman.

It spoke volumes about Mikel Arteta’s lack of trust in the Bosnian and he should be the first to depart in the upcoming overhaul.
