Arsenal are believed to be angered by Diego Simeone’s constant omission of midfield loanee Lucas Torreira.
The Uruguay international joined Atletico Madrid on loan this summer as part of the deal which saw Thomas Partey move in the other direction. He was expected to be a regular starter in Simeone’s side.
However, things have not gone as planned for Torreira, and he has made just two starts for the La Liga leaders, as well as eight substitute appearances.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Libertad Digital, the Gunners are annoyed by Torreira’s current situation at the Wanda Metropolitano, and believe that the club are deliberately trying to lower his value as revenge for not including an option to buy in the loan agreement.
