Arsenal Star Launches Scathing Attack on Fiorentina Board After Ending Loan Spell With Serie A Club

• Lucas Torreira slammed the Serie A club for behaving badly after his permanent deal to Fiorentina fell through
• The Arsenal midfielder spent last season on loan with the Serie A club helping them to qualify for the Europa Conference League next season
• Fiorentina failed to pick up the option to sign Torreira from Arsenal permanently which has prompted the midfielder to castigate the club

Arsenal midfielder, Lucas Torreira is hugely disappointed with Fiorentina after ending his loan spell with the Serie A club this summer.

The Uruguayan midfielder returned to Arsenal after a season-long loan with the Italian club as the Serie A side failed to meet up with their initial agreement with the Gunners to sign Torreira permanently.

Fiorentina had inserted a clause in the loan deal that meant that they could sign the 26-year-old midfielder for £12.5million after his loan spell but tried to negotiate a deal far lesser for the player.

The move has now prompted Torreira to hit out at the Serie A club in his farewell post on social media as he returns to Arsenal Daily Mirror reports.

“Know that I did my best to continue being part of this club, but unfortunately there were those who, acting in a bad way, according to my understanding, managed to prevent this from happening and that is why I have to leave.”

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta will likely look to sell Torreira this summer, with the Uruguayan not thought to be a part of his plans, despite his successful time at Fiorentina.
