Juan Francisco Torres turned down Arsenal twice
The Gunners bought Mathieu Debuchy after the Juanfran deal fell through
Atletico Madrid right back Juanfran has revealed in an interview that he twice turned down a move to join Arsenal.
The Spanish international was targeted by the Gunners as a replacement for Bacary Sagna, who moved to Manchester City last summer on a free.
Juanfran says he is still very happy in the Spanish capital, and has no intentions of moving to England.
“I know where I am. Atletico have pushed for me to stay,” said the 30 year old, speaking to Radio Marca.
“I rejected two offers from Arsenal. It’s what I feel.”
