Lucas Torreira has posted a number of interesting messages on his Instagram story on Tuesday afternoon, where he is hinting at a possible exit from Arsenal.
Last season, the 26-year-old was out on-loan at Serie A side, Fiorentina, where he enjoyed a fruitful campaign with the club.
It has been previously suggested that he was disappointed that a permeant transfer to Florence had fallen through, but he is still determined to leave Arsenal.
Well, at first he posted an image of him celebrating a goal in the colours of the Italian side added with the caption: ‘Sometimes it’s better to talk on the field’, included with a shushing emoji and a clown face emoji.
The £27 million Arsenal signing (Guardian) then proceeded to add several images of his stint at the club last season.
Then his next IG story post was an image overlooking the city of Florence, with the words: ‘Be back soon #Firenze’.
TORREIRA ON HIS WAY OUT
It’s pretty clear the defensive-minded midfielder wants nothing to do with the Gunners and he is just keen on leaving and heading back to where it all went right for him last season.
Mikel Arteta has just added Fabio Vieira to his ranks, Mohamed Elneny has just signed a new deal, whilst Ainsley Maitland-Niles has returned from his loan spell.
These are either new players or back-up options that are ahead of the Uruguay international, not forgetting Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka and Albert Sambi Lokonga.
Plus, the more attack-minded options such as Vieira, Martin Odegaard and Emile Smith Rowe, so even in the Europa League, the Unai Emery signing probably won’t earn minutes.
