Arsenal midfielders move to Serie A club collapses

Torreira's move to Fiorentina collapses

Arsenal midfielder's move to Serie A club collapses

15 June 2022 - 21:09

Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira will return to the club this summer after his proposed move to Fiorentina collapsed.

  • Mikel Arteta insists 27yo star won't be leaving Arsenal
  • Omari Hutchinson wants to continue at Ipswich Town

  • The Uruguay international spent the previous campaign on loan with the Serie A outfit, making 35 appearances in all competitions.

    It was anticipated that they would look to sign him permanently with a £13m buy option, but that has not been the case.

    Torreira has reportedly blamed some Fiorentina officials for the decision, and he may now pursue another new challenge.

    The 26-year-old's current deal with the Gunners expires in June next year, and a permanent exit seems realistic this summer.

    A number of other Serie A clubs were interested in Torreira last year, and they could come forward for his services.

    The Gunners may need to lower their valuation as they are no longer in a strong position to negotiate for his exit.

    It has been suggested that they could reduce his price tag to around £10m to invite offers from any interested clubs.
