Born in Germany, Sead Kolasinac made his Bundesliga debut in 2012, at Schalke 04 where he spent six seasons (123 games) before joining London club Arsenal in 2017. Under the colors of the Gunners, he played 118 matches and won several trophies, the Community Shield in 2017 and 2020, then the FA Cup in 2020, before returning on loan to Schalke at the start of 2021.
Able both to play in the center or in the left lane of a three-man defence, Kolasinac, who has 43 caps for Bosnia and Herzegovina and has played more than 40 European club matches, will be able to replace on the left flank the departure of Jordan Amavi to Nice. He will be presented to the press on Thursday, in the presence of club president Pablo Longoria.
