Tuttosport: Uruguayan midfielder back in Milan’s sights after Galatasaray move

AC Milan have once again been linked with a potential move for Lucas Torreira, as has now become a seemingly yearly occurrence.

Today’s edition of Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) talks about Milan and the upcoming summer window, during which Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are hoping to recruit a new deputy to Ismael Bennacer.

Lucas Torreira is a name that was linked with Milan while he was at Sampdoria, Arsenal and Fiorentina, and he is now back to his best with Galatasaray having made 19 league appearances this season.

The feeling is that the Uruguayan would be a perfect alternative to Bennacer given he is similar in a lot of ways to the Algerian with his combative style, ability on the ball and his low centre of gravity.

It certainly won’t be easy to sign him, as Galatasaray would like to collect an amount more or less equal to what they paid out in the summer to buy him from Arsenal, which is around €6m as per Turkish Football and other sources.
