The coaches at Sturm Graz were thoroughly impressed with Biereth, who managed to score nine goals and provide four assists in just 22 appearances. His contribution was instrumental in helping the Austrian side secure their fourth league title last season.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have been actively looking to offload some of their fringe players in order to raise funds. The departure of Biereth will be a significant boost in this regard, as the money received from his transfer will be considered pure profit due to his status as an academy product. This windfall will also assist the club in adhering to the Profit and Sustainability Rules.
The Gunners have learned from past mistakes, where they have held onto players for too long, resulting in a decline in their market value. A case in point is Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who was kept at the club longer than necessary, only to see his transfer value diminish. Eventually, he made a move to Ligue 1 side Lyon on a free transfer.
As Arsenal continue to make strategic decisions regarding their squad, the sale of Biereth represents a step in the right direction, ensuring financial stability while also creating opportunities for emerging talents within the club.
