"The sale of Cazorla seems decided. It is most likely that the Spaniard never again wear the white shirt (of Malaga), unless a miracle occurs. The transfer of the most expensive player in club history (cost €19m) to Arsenal in a week seems unstoppable uncertain and crucial for the immediate future of Malaga. The team likely will be without one of its most prominent symbols.
Between Monday and Tuesday were two meetings to finalize the sale of Cazorla. The two clubs met to try and direct a way this operation, which had previously been controlled by player agents.
Malaga, in principle, thought to retain the player, but the circumstances have been changing over the weeks. Arsenal managed to do their part to the player's agent, who always went for the exit of Cazorla with the aim of advancing a football as attractive as English. From there the British team always tried to take advantage of the situation in Malaga to get a good price."
