Arsenal have been told that a deal for midfielder Lucas Torreira must be completed by this Friday or the Gunners risk losing-out on a considerable fee.
The Uruguayan spent last season on loan with Serie A club Fiorentina and it was reported that the Italian outfit were keen to retain his services on a permanent basis and a deal was expected to be signed off without a hitch. However, negotiations between the two clubs have been dragging on for some time.
Originally a fee of €15m (£12.7m) was agreed between the two clubs but Fiorentina appear unwilling to pay that aforementioned amount, with €8m (£6.8m) the highest they are reportedly willing to go.
