Lucas Torreira will be Atlético de Madrid's new player. As AS has learned, the Uruguayan midfielder will travel to Madrid this Friday or early Saturday to undergo a medical examination and sign for the rojiblanco club. The idea is to leave everything sealed before it is incorporated with Uruguay for international commitments.
The details of the operation are still to be known, but Atlético's idea was to include a purchase option by the 24-year-old midfielder. Arsenal, meanwhile, expects to get just over 20 million for his footballer, but right now (unlikely due to the situation), next summer. There were the differences in the last conversations.
On the other hand, this arrival is conditioned by the departure of a footballer from the squad, both in order not to exceed the salary limit and in chips, since Atlético is not in excess either. In that sense, there are two players for whom destiny is sought: Herrera and Lemar. Zenit asked about the Mexican. Until Monday 5, the mattress leaders have time to close some of these exits.
The Arsenal midfielder will arrive on loan to reinforce the midfield. It is a request from Cholo Simeone, that she considered she needed another man to strengthen that demarcation. This arrival, and in the absence of deciding on Nehuén Pérez and Mollejo, could close the rojiblanca squad.
Torreira and Suárez go with Uruguay; Cavani no
Uruguay has made public the call for the matches against Chile and Uruguay. Torreira is on the list, like the last Atlético signing, Luis Suarez. Another rojiblanco, Gimenez, you fall because you are recovering from the coronavirus. Cavani, in the Atleti agenda, he is left out, because he has not played a game for more than half a year.
The Spanish League contributes more footballers to the Tabárez summons: Valverde (Real Madrid), Arambarri and Damián (Getafe), Maxi (Valencia), Stuani (Girona)
