Lucas Torreira’s decision to join Atlético Madrid on a season-long loan deal from Arsenal hasn’t been a success so far.
The midfielder has seen his playing time limited, featuring 10 times in all competitions, which includes only two starts. He made just one 19-minute cameo in the last five league matches.
Torreira was wanted by Serie A clubs before he decided to join Diego Simeone’s side on a temporary deal.
His situation at Wanda Metropolitano continues to draw attention from Fiorentina and Torino.
Reports in England state the Gunners are unhappy with the Uruguay international’s lack of opportunities at Atlético. It was also suggested Arsenal are considering cancelling his loan deal.
Wednesday’s edition of Mundo Deportivo has looked at the claims made in the British press.
It’s claimed both Fiorentina and Torino ‘love’ the player and are insisting Mikel Arteta’s side ‘reconsider their position’ on the South American.
However, neither the 24-year-old nor the La Liga side ‘contemplate’ ending their association in the winter market.
Despite the situation, the newspaper states Torreira ‘does not think about leaving’ Los Rojibalcnos this month as he knew there would be competition in Madrid.
Last month, the Uruguayan’s agent Pablo Bentancur dismissed the possibility of his client leaving Atlético in the ongoing window.
