Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira has insisted his dream of moving to Boca Juniors this summer is not dead yet.
The Uruguayan midfielder has spent the season on loan at Atlético Madrid, enduring a difficult season in which he failed to convince Diego Simeone.
He did end the campaign as a La Liga champion, but the Spanish side are not keen on a permanent move, and he will be returning to Arsenal this summer as a result.
Like Atlético, though, they are not keen to keep hold of him, and both parties will be looking to sort out a permanent exit if possible.
That move is believed to be difficult to get done given the finances involved, but it is very much his dream move if he leaves Arsenal as expected.
He’s now reiterated that stance and believes the chances of it happening are not as remote as they seem.
“There was a lot of talk after everything that happened with my mother because I expressed my feelings and my desire to be able to come to Boca,” Ovacion report him saying.
“But as time went by and being a little calmer in the group, I understood that everything is very difficult, too.
“Although I do not stop thinking because my idea is to play at Boca because I know I’m going to do it, if not now it will be later.
“The most important thing is that the dream is not lost; it continues to feed me and that for me is very good. I’m still holding on to it, even though I know it’s very difficult to make it happen.
“But now I want to be calm, to be with my dad, to hug him. To be with my brothers, with my people and already thinking about the national team, which is the most important thing for me.”
