Arsenal look set to miss out on a £15million windfall, with Fiorentina set to pass on the opportunity to sign on-loan midfielder Lucas Torreira.
The Uruguay international is under contract with the Gunners until 2023, and has seen the funny side after losing his No.11 shirt to Gabriel Martinelli for next term. After an impressive first half of the season, there had been suggestions he might be used in a part-exchange deal for January transfer target Dusan Vlahovic, only for the striker to leave Florence to join Juventus.
Vincenzo Italiano's side reportedly had an option to make the loan deal permanent, and all the pieces appeared to be in place. However, the 26-year-old has featured a little less in recent weeks and all signs point towards him returning to north London.
