Arsene Wenger had told the media that the layer was free to leave if he wanted to without the club blocking any propitious deal for the 28 year-old Belgium defender.

Wenger hinted of his exit earlier in the week:

All that is remaining for a move to the Camp Nou is the personal agreement between the layer and the club and a medical test.

Vermaelen joined the Gunners from Ajax in 2009 for a fee of £10m and since then, he played 110 premier league games, scoring 13 goals.
