In Italy they affirm that the transfer of Torreira will be broken in January

Lucas Torreira is not counting on many minutes at Atlético. The Uruguayan footballer came the last market day (October 5) on loan from Arsenal, while Thomas took the opposite route. At the first change, he completed the game at Balaídos at a good level and a week later he started against Betis.

But since then, and considering Saul's return from his injury, has not returned to enter the eleven. In addition, Torreira was infected with coronavirus during the international break and returned to Madrid missing three encounters due to illness. In the derby against Real Madrid he did not have a minute, looking ahead to Koke and Herrera in the holder scheme and later Saúl himself and Kondogbia as bench options. In total he has played 213 minutes in the nine games he has participated.

Something that in Italy indicates that the Uruguayan will end up leaving the club in January. According tuttomercatoweb, The Cholo Simeone has given the green light to let Torreira go, that he would return to Arsenal to find a new destination in the winter market. Torino has always been interested in his arrival and he would rethink to bid for him again, but also several more Italian teams would see his arrival as a great option at low cost to reinforce themselves in the middle of the course.
