Arsenal have rebuffed a low-ball offer from Fiorentina for Lucas Torreira - and Mikel Arteta could be stuck with the out-of-favour midfielder and left out of pocket if the two sides cannot come to an agreement for the 26-year-old.
Torreira impressed for the Italian outfit during a season-long loan stint in Serie A last year. The midfield enforcer racked up 35 appearances in all competitions and was a key player for Vincenzo Italiano's side, who are keen to strike a permanent deal for the Arsenal man this summer.
However, the two sides have been unable to come to an agreement on a deal after Fiorentina failed to trigger their €15million (£12.8m) option to purchase Torreira on a permanent basis. Fiorentina are now trying to negotiate a new price for the midfielder - but they have seriously irked the Arsenal hierarchy with their latest offer.
