Torreira was interestingly a part of Arsenal’s pre-season tour, but he was forced to depart early without making an appearance due to ‘personal reasons’.

He hasn’t been in Arteta’s plans since the Spaniard took the job in late 2019 and he impressed out on loan at Fiorentina last season. La Viola, though, were unable to complete a permanent purchase.

Thus, Torreira is on the market once more with several clubs interested in acquiring his services. Juventus have been tenuously linked, as have AS Roma and his former club Sampdoria. But, right now, the most likely destination appears to be Spain.

Torreira’s agent revealed earlier this month that an agreement’s in place for his client to join Gennaro Gattuso at Valencia, but whether the cash-stricken La Liga outfit can facilitate a transfer remains to be seen.

One thing’s for sure, though: Torreira will not be an Arsenal player next season.

Linked clubs: Juventus, Valencia, Sampdoria, Roma
