Saka's contract extension with Arsenal and Fiorentina's signing of Torreira are all premised on European qualification

Arsenal will prioritize contract extensions with Saka this summer, but they will need to qualify for the Champions League to convince him.

The Daily Mail and two other media outlets have reported that Arsenal have made the renewal of Saka one of their top priorities this summer, but added that their ability to retain the youngsters will be increasingly worrying if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Arsenal are ready and willing to offer saka a big salary increase, but that's not the only factor influencing players' decisions.

The Post said it would become "very difficult" to renew Saka's contract if Arsenal failed to finish in the top four.

The Athletic previously reported that Saka's new contract is a top priority, with Football.London saying this week that Arsenal will renew his contract at the end of the season to reward Saka's progress.

The winger's contract expires in 2024, but the new contract will reflect his status as one of the team's core players.

After the squad slimmed down, Arsenal should have no problem financially, but it didn't secure a position in the top four, making the outcome of the renewal negotiations difficult to predict.

Saka has tied for first place in the team this season with Smith Rowe, who has just renewed his contract this summer, with a total of 11 goals and assists in all competitions.

According to Italian media reports, if Fiorentina want to sign Torreira, then they need to qualify for next season's European competition.

Italy's newspaper El Repubblica reported that winning the European seat was a prerequisite for Torreira's permanent transfer to Fiorentina.

Fiorentina will meet arsenal in the next few days to determine everything related to transfers, but it looks like we won't get a definitive answer until the end of the season.

Especially with Vlahović's departure, Fiorentina's hopes of winning a European seat can be said to be a lifeline.

The recent loss to Lazio put them three points away from the European zone, but one less game, so they will theoretically have the initiative.

But in the first game without Vlahović, they failed to score, putting some pressure on the team.

Arsenal reached a loan deal with Fiorentina at the start of the season with a €15 million selective buyout clause, which looked like a good price point at the time.

Although Torreira turned two yellows and one red in the game last weekend, this is a rare low point of his season so far.

If the Purple Lily fails to qualify for Europe and cannot complete the deal, all parties involved may be disappointed.

Arsenal will miss the opportunity to arrange Torreira's way out as early as possible, Fiorentina will lose the players they want and Torreira will have another uncertain summer window.

Hopefully, that won't happen.
