However, Arsenal have confirmed he has now left the club following 84 appearances for them across the last four years.
Tomiyasu, who joined from Bologna in 2021, becomes the second defender to head for the Arsenal exit this summer after Kieran Tierney joined Celtic.
There are also doubts over Oleksandr Zinchenko's future at the club, while midfielder Thomas Partey is a free agent after his contract expired on June 30. Jorginho joined Brazilian club Flamengo when his deal at the Emirates came to an end last month.

Le Mans officially announced today that investment company OutField have purchased an undisclosed percentage of the club. Tennis icon Djokovic and former F1 drivers Felipe Massa and Kevin Magnussen are involved in the project. In a statement published by Le Mans, they say the 24-time Grand Slam champion's "mental strength and unique approach will bring considerable added value." On Massa and Magnussen, the club claim the duo will "create a bridge between football and motorsport – a distinctive strength of the Le Mans brand." Ex-Ferrari driver Massa raced in F1 for 15 years and is a massive fan of Brazilian club Sao Paulo supporter. Magnussen was with Haas and his father Jan is a four-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner. Opening up on his new venture, Massa said: "I think everyone knows my passion for football, which is leading me to take this step today. "Le Mans FC has a strong connection with motorsport, and when my good friend and partner Georgios Frangulis presented the project to me, I wanted to be a part of it.

"It's undeniably a great opportunity, taking advantage of the momentum of French football, the reigning Champions League champion, which is currently attracting significant investment." Nine years ago, Le Mans were down at a amateur level in the fifth tier of French football after the club ran into financial trouble. But they have since climbed up the divisions and will compete in Ligue 2 this coming season. They were the last in the top-flight back in 2010. Le Mans play their home matches at the Stade Marie-Marvingt, which is next to the iconic racing track.

Arsenal's stance on Eberechi Eze transfer revealed as date release clause expires is confirmed
Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze this summer, but it remains to be seen if the Gunners can strike a deal for the 27-year-old Arsenal are interested in Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, but want to offload a forward before making a formal approach. The Gunners have made six new signings so far this summer, with Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga all joining the club. Eze is another player that has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates and he does have a £68million release clause in his contract. However, multiple reports have stated that the clause expires on Friday. And BBC Sport are reporting that Arsenal have 'shown no inclination of triggering the forward's release fee', with the Gunners looking to sell before they make any more new signings. The report adds that Arsenal value Eze at less than £68m and 'want to negotiate a deal beneath the agreement'. Palace have so far been unwilling to negotiate a lower fee, but it is claimed that may change later in the window. When asked about Eze's future back in May, Palace boss Oliver Glasner said: "I don't want to comment on individual players. "We could talk about Marc Guehi, we could talk about Dean Henderson, we could talk about Adam Wharton, we could talk about Jean-Philippe Mateta, Daniel Munoz, Ismaila Sarr who played an incredible, outstanding season for us. We won't sell all of them." And Glasner has been left frustrated with Palace's lack of business so far this summer, having only spent £3m on a backup goalkeeper and a left-back. "Even though all the players are still here, we haven't made the most of the transfer window so far," Glasner admitted. "I was promised that we would be more active and bring in the new players earlier this year. As of now, I have 17 outfield players. "I hope we don't lose any more. If that happens and we get four new ones on deadline day like last year, another false start is possible." Palace's business has been complicated by the fact that they are still waiting to find out which European competition they will be playing in next season. Palace qualified for the Europa League after winning the FA Cup last season, but have been demoted to the Conference League by UEFA. UEFA ruled that they had breached their multi-club ownership rules, but Palace have lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport and a decision is expected before August 11.

Lando Norris says what he won't do to beat McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri to F1 title
McLaren look certain to win both Formula 1 championships this year with the teams' title all-but sewn up and Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri duelling for individual glory Lando Norris is desperate for Formula 1 glory – but insists he is not willing to do anything to win. History is littered with World champions like Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna who were not afraid to bend rules in the pursuit of success. Title-chasing McLaren duo Norris and Oscar Piastri have kept it clean so far this year, apart from a collision in Canada for which the Brit immediately accepted fault. Norris is often self-critical when he makes mistakes and that, he says, proves how much he wants to win. But he said: "I get upset sometimes and I get disappointed and I get angry at myself, and I think that shows just how much I care about winning and losing. But that doesn't mean I need to take it out on Oscar. I just don't get into those kind of things. "He is the guy I want to beat more than anyone else but, if I don't beat him, then that's just because he has done a better job. I will do it the way I believe is best for me, and just because one person did it a few years ago, it doesn't mean you have to do that too." Norris was quicker than Piastri in both practice sessions at the Hungaroring on Friday as McLaren dominated proceedings. Ferrari showed decent pace with Charles Leclerc third in both hours while Lewis Hamilton also looked strong on a track where he has won eight times before. In contrast, Max Verstappen struggled for pace and was only 14th on the timesheets by the end of FP2. Yuki Tsunoda was ninth, marking the first time the Dutchman has been beaten by a Red Bull team-mate in any practice session this season. Verstappen spent much of that second hour of running complaining about his machine. "I don't know what's going on, I can't get any balance," he complained at one point, while also stating in other radio messages that the car was "undriveable" and that it was "like driving on ice". He is third in the drivers' championship but 81 points adrift of leader Piastri. That would be a huge gap to overhaul but, still McLaren team principal Andrea Stella is refusing to rule the four-time World champion out of the fight. The Italian said: "I only agree with mathematics, so once mathematics tells us that is the case, then I will change my answer. I would not exclude Max, for instance, being in the game, so we are very wary. We remain concentrated, but we want to put our drivers in a position to sustain their quest until the end of the season." Fernando Alonso missed the first practice session of the day, citing back pain, with Brazilian reserve driver Felipe Drugovich filling in. But the Spaniard, 44, was well enough to drive in FP2 and was fifth fastest, one place behind Lance Stroll as Aston Martin showed encouraging pace.
