Lucas Torreira, ready

Lucas Torreira (24 years old) is about to become a new Atlético de Madrid player. Although, for the signing to take place, Hector Herrera's exit must first be closed, as he has been able to confirm ACE. The arrival of the Uruguayan and the departure of the Mexican would, in this way, close the mattress squad for this season.

Torreira is an express request of Simeone and the player would be delighted to embark on a new adventure, since his stay at Arsenal has not followed the paths he expected. According to 'Sky Italia', Pablo Betancur, representative of the Uruguayan, appeared in Madrid to negotiate the desired terms, fringes, the latter, which should be resolved once the march of Hector Herrera, key to the operation, is closed. The red-and-white intention is to close a loan with a purchase option, while Arsenal intends a definitive transfer (They want to obtain 24 million euros), in order to have the cash to face the last days of the market with sufficient economic muscle.

In Italy they already take the agreement for granted, but, as we say, this will not reach its final stage until the farewell of the Mexican midfielder is confirmed, who has not managed to become strong after arriving last summer from Porto and has been on the exit ramp all summer, if he arrives the right offer. 'Su' Oporto sounded long ago as a rescue option.

Simeone, harpsichord

Atleti has managed to beat a tough last-minute rival, Torino. The team led by Giampaolo, coach with whom Torreira stood out in Sampdoria, joined the bid in recent days, but after the meeting between Betancur and Andrea Berta, the mattress option has been the most attractive for the Uruguayan international.

The role of Simeone seems key in the conviction of the still player 'gunner'. As this newspaper reported, Cholo, once it reached his ears that Arteta did not have him, personally called a player who already wanted in 2018, when the London team signed him from Giampaolo's Sampdoria.
