In a recent post on the Arsenal website, the club confirmed Michal Rosiak is among a list of players leaving the club this summer.
Back in early June, Rosiak had featured on Arsenal’s list of players still in contract talks with the club, with his deal set to expire on June 30th.
Yet reports earlier this month suggested the player was unlikely to sign the offer on the table, and Arsenal have now confirmed he’s been released.

Following that confirmation, Rosiak has taken to social media to say a farewell to his former club.
“After a long and memorable journey, it’s time for me to step away from Arsenal,” Rosiak wrote. “I’m incredibly grateful for the memories, friendships, support from staff members and fans during my time at the club.
“Becoming a part of this community has helped shaped and grow me into the person I have become today.
“Arsenal will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks to everyone who made this experience special, I wish success to Arsenal and everyone else at the club.”

Given Rosiak’s age (19) and the contract offer on the table, Arsenal would be due some financial compensation from the player’s next club, despite his availability as a free agent.
Clubs are required to pay training compensation fees for under-23 players who had an offer to stay.
Rosiak is a free-kick specialist who made 26 appearances for the Arsenal academy in 2024/25. The teenager made the bench for the Gunners’ first team in the Champions League quarter-finals against Real Madrid, but he didn’t make it onto the pitch for the senior side.
