Statement by Lucas Torreira’s coach: I will meet with Lazio

Pablo Bentancur, coach of Galatasaray star footballer Lucas Torreira, made statements about the future of the footballer.

“Torreira had a great season at Pescara and he proved himself at Sampdoria,” Bentancur told the Italian press. Arguably, he was the best midfielder in his first year at Arsenal. But now he has reached footballing and personal maturity and had the most brilliant performance from him last season. I can safely say that Galatasaray did not put it up for sale. He also easily earned all the bonuses with an amazing performance this season.” saying.

Regarding a possible transfer to Lazio, Bentancur said: “I have to be honest. I have a formal meeting with the club next week to hear his proposal. They will play the Champions League and Lucas has always loved Italy. But I must be very clear. He’s not for sale, but business is business. We have an appointment and we leave. Paying tribute to Lazio, a great club, we will listen to what they have to offer.” he said.

Torreira, who played 34 games for Galatasaray last season and gave 1 assist, played a key role in the defense of the yellow and red team with his laborious performance in midfield.

On loan from Arsenal to Galatasaray for €6m, the 27-year-old Torreira previously played for Pescara, Sampdoria and Italy’s Fiorentina.
