Arsenal have reportedly reached an agreement with Fiorentina for the transfer of Lucas Torreira.
The Uruguayan is ready to leave the Emirates after two seasons with the Gunners and Arteta will not stand in his way.
After joining the club from Sampdoria in 2018, he enjoyed a very successful first season in which the Gunners reached the final of the Europa League.
However, his second season was more frustrating for him and the club, and he never managed to convince Mikel Arteta of his talent and suitability for the Spanish system.
Labaro Viola says that Arsenal and the Italians have already reached an agreement on his transfer.
He will join them on loan for 8 million euros and the transfer will become final at the end of the season for 16 million euros.
The agreement to sign it permanently is mandatory rather than optional.
Then he adds that the transfer is being held back by the imminent arrival of Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid because Arteta will not allow Torreira to leave when he lacks options in midfield.
The sale of Torreira will free up space on Arsenal’s salary bill and will also help the club raise some funds as they look to add more players to their squad.
