La Fiore will not execute the option to purchase the Uruguayan midfielder – set at 15 million euros – and ends the relationship with a Torreira who has been a fixture in the midfield of the Florence team, in which he has finished the season with five goals, many at key moments at the end of the campaign, as the second highest scorer.
In a statement issued on his social networks by way of farewell, the footballer himself assures that his intention was to continue in the ‘viola’ group and that “there were those who managed to prevent this from happening”.
“I did my best to continue”
“Know that I did my best to be able to continue being part of this club, but unfortunately there were those who, acting in a bad way, according to my understanding, managed to prevent this from happening and that is why I have to leave. I wish them the best for the future They will have one more fan cheering from the place where I have to be, “said Torreira.
With contract with Arsenal until 2023
At 26 years old, the former Atlético de Madrid player, owned by Arsenal until June 2023, will return to England to resolve his future.
“From the beginning they made me feel at home (fans). I discovered a wonderful city that was always kind to me, both on the field and off it. They always showed me love, respect and for that I will always be grateful,” he added.
“Thanks to their confidence I was able to find the continuity and level I wanted again. I owe that to my teammates and all the fans who gave us energy game after game. Know that I always left everything on the field of play for these colors,” he said. the charrúa
