Arsenal are going to make significant cuts on their salary costs in the last transfer week. The Gunners have already agreed with Fiorentina about a rental period for Lucas Torreira, Fabrizio Romano reports. It is also expected that Willian and Sead Kolasinac will also be housed elsewhere during this transfer window.
The upcoming outgoing transfers come as called for Arsenal, because manager Mikel Arteta no longer appreciates the presence of the three. Torreira is lent for one and a half million euros to Fiorentina, which can then sign the Uruguayan midfielder for fifteen million euros. Torreira came to Arsenal for just under €30 million three years ago, but did not fully live up to expectations and was loaned to Atlético Madrid last season. The 25-year-old South American has 4 goals and 6 assists after 89 appearances for Arsenal.
In addition, Arsenal are also eager to say goodbye to Willian, who was enlisted on a free transfer a year ago for an astronomical salary of thirteen million euros a year. The Brazilian winger is allowed to leave on a free transfer after a completely failed season and is considering an offer from Corinthians, Romano knows. While Willian prefers to remain active in Europe, the Brazilian club has “huge opportunities” to get him back. 33-year-old Willian played 37 times for Arsenal, scoring 1 goal and providing 7 assists.
Finally, Kolasinac is on its way to Fenerbahçe, Romano and report football.london. The 28-year-old left-back has only been with Arsenal for one more season and has been told by Arteta to leave. At Fenerbahçe, Kolasinac can be reunited with Mesut Ozil, who already moved from Arsenal to the Turkish top club in January. Kolasinac, who played on loan for Schalke 04 in the past six months, played 113 games for Arsenal, in which he was good for 5 goals and 15 assists.
