The Sun report that Lucas Torreira wants to end his loan at Atletico Madrid and cut ties with Arsenal at the same time, with his father claiming the 25-year-old Uruguayan international wants to return to South America and fulfill his dream. playing life for Boca Juniors. The news comes after the player’s mother died from coronavirus.

Paper Round’s point of view: Torreira looked like a bright prospect in his debut season at Arsenal, but struggled to settle in the longer term. A loan to Atletico hasn’t done much to turn his career around and perhaps leaving Europe is a reasonable path to take, and would allow Mikel Arteta to potentially raise a few millions to improve the squad this summer.

However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has the option of keeping it for next season or using it to raise funds.
