Pablo Mari has joined AC Monza in a permanent transfer.
The 29-year-old defender initially signed for us on loan in January 2020, joining permanently six months later. During his time with us, Pablo made 22 appearances in all competitions, including a goal in our 4-1 UEFA Europa League win at home to Rapid Vienna in December 2020.
Pablo joined us from Flamengo, where he played an integral role in his team winning both the Brazilian league title and South American Copa Libertadores.
Following a short-term spell with Udinese to see out the 2021/2022 campaign, the Spanish defender spent the whole of last season on loan with the team he now joins, AC Monza. During last season, Pablo made 31 appearances in all competitions, helping his newly promoted side to an 11th-place finish in Serie A.
Pablo showed tremendous strength and courage last year to recover from an attack which injured him in Milan in October 2022. We’re all so happy that Pablo is now back to full fitness.
We thank Pablo for his contribution to the club and wish him and his family the best of health and happiness in their new chapter.
The deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.
