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

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how 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.
