Arsenal agree Atletico Madrid loan for Lucas Torreira

October 2, 2020

Arsenal and Atletico Madrid could be close to agreeing on a loan deal for Lucas Torreira.

The defensive midfielder wants out of the club as he is not settled in England.

While Arsenal would prefer a permanent deal to raise funds, they may have to settle for a loan.

According to AS, a deal between Arsenal and Atleti is agreed.

It will be an initial one year loan, with the Spanish club having the option to sign Torreira permanently for £22 million.

But the clause is not an obligation, which means Arsenal will have to hope Torreira impresses in La Liga.
