Serie A Heavyweights Have ‘Rekindled’ Pursuit Of 22M Rated Arsenal Midfielder As They Plan Player Exchange

Roma have “rekindled” their interest in Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira, according to Calciomercato.com. The Italian website claims that the Serie A club could well make a serious offer to sign the Uruguayan international.

Reports have suggested that Torino were closing in on signing the 24-year-old on loan, with an obligation to buy at the end of the season, but Roma hope that their offer will be a more attractive proposition.


The Italian side are aware of Arsenal’s interest in Amadou Diawara, with his agent having confirmed last month that the Gunners have been tracking the Guinean. With that being the case, the Giallorossi could well propose a straight swap between the player and Torreira.

Both players are valued at around the same amount, approximately €25m (£22m), and so Roma are confident that the deal would be accepted if it is proposed before the transfer window closes at the start of next month.
