Arsenal’s Lucas Torreira could leave the club in the next few days, the Telegraph report.
Torreira has been heavily linked with a move back to Italy this summer, with Arsenal seemingly hoping to raise funds for him.
The Telegraph now suggest that a move is getting close, with Fiorentina leading the way to sign the Arsenal man.
Mikel Arteta is hoping to renovate his midfield, and Torreria’s departure could allow him to bring in some new additions.
Arsenal are hoping to fetch over £20 million from the move, which should help to finance their ambitious transfer plans.
Torreira’s departure may disappointment some Arsenal supporters, as he remains a popular figure at the Emirates Stadium.
However, the former Sampdoria man failed to be a permanent starter under either Arteta or Unai Emery, even though the former Arsenal boss once said he had ‘great quality’ to the club’s official website.
