Much like Hector Bellerin, Lucas Torreira needs to find himself a new club this summer, and is doing everything in his power to achieve that.
The Uruguayan has returned to Mikel Arteta’s squad following an unsuccessful loan spell at Atlético Madrid, but his future at the Emirates is pretty much non-existent.
That’s why, according to Corriere della Sera, the player has ‘told the Gunners management that he would like to return to Italy’, where he already managed to impose himself with Sampdoria, ultimately earning him his initial transfer to Arsenal.
Since ‘he is no longer part of the plans of the English team’, he has ‘communicated this to his agent Pablo Bentancourt yesterday’, which is probably why the request was put in.
Why it’s taken this long isn’t clear, since everyone already knew he was never going to wear the Arsenal shirt again.
After all, posting pictures of yourself at Parque Warner in Madrid while your team is losing 2-0 to Brentford isn’t the best way to make it back into the team.
