Arsenal Publish Lucas Torreira Asking Price As Star Seeks Return To Serie A

Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira could be putting an end to his two-year spell with the Gunners this summer, and a move back to the Serie A looks to be on the cards.

The Premier League side have established an asking price of £22m for the Uruguay midfielder, and made the way clear for him to leave.

Torreira was a key player in his first season at the club, but couldn’t force a way into Mikel Arteta’s changed setup.

Tuttosport are reporting that the north London club will accept any offers in the region of £22m for Torreira.

Torino appear to be the front runners for his signature as things stand.

There is a possibility the deal may turn into a season-long loan with a mandatory option to buy at the end of the year.

The only deterrent to Arsenal would be that they won’t receive much to reinvest in their own squad.

Fiorentina were thought to be keen on the 24-year-old, but the brother of manager Marco Giampaolo, Federico, admitted that the club were facing a huge battle to convince Torreira to join their club.
