Lucas Torreira Potentially Leaving Arsenal

DBasia.news – Twenty four-year-old midfielder Lucas Torreira is potentially leaving Arsenal as he rarely plays.

The Uruguayan player was recruited from Sampdoria in 2018 for £26 million. In his debut season, Torreira performed well in guarding Arsenal’s midfield under the direction of Unai Emery.

Even though he played in a different position (attacking midfielder), Torreira’s performance was still good, both in helping the defense or building up attacks. However, the situation is different nowadays under Mikel Arteta.

Injuries made him difficult to perform optimally so that Torreira rarely plays when he is stated fit to play. The situation made him feel uncomfortable. Torreira also admitted that he was thinking about an option to move to find more playing hours.

“I have to think carefully about my future. I have a contract with Arsenal and I have to appreciate it,” said Torreira to Sport 890.

“It’s clear, if I have to go, I will do it for the best possible destination. We have to stay calm and look forward to it,” added the Pescara academy player.

According to an information from The Telepgraph, there are two Serie A clubs who are interested in Lucas Torreira, AC Milan and Napoli. Il Rossoneri are at the forefront of recruiting him to play under Stefano Pioli next season.

Torreira’s contract remains until 2023. In the data published by Transfermarkt, his official price is 30 million euros. Torreira is a defensive midfielder with persistence when he plays and is diligent in pressing.
