The heat is on as AC Milan directors look to forge an alliance with Turkish outfit Galatasaray.
The Rossoneri have their sights set on Nicolò Zaniolo, a player for whom they will make moves come summer. While there have been whispers about Mauro Icardi, the focus is on securing a midfielder who can replace Bennacer. If Stefano Pioli remains at the helm for next season, the team will likely shift to a three-man defense with an additional player bolstering the midfield. Given Bakayoko's inevitable departure, reinforcements are necessary, and this is where Lucas Torreira, currently playing midfield for Galatasaray, could come into play.
According to what is reported by CalcioStyle.it Torreira who is a Uruguayan 27 year-old, started out as a second striker before dropping back to the midfield. His versatility allows him to transition seamlessly between roles in midfield, and he possesses both roughness and finesse in his play, thanks to a particularly well-trained foot. He is skilled at interpreting both phases of play, and he is eager to come to Italy again in order to compete in a challenging league. While the market value is lower than during his Arsenal days, it still hovers around a cool 15 million euros.
Milan's proposal is a paid loan spell of 2 million euros with a buy-option set between 12 to 13 million euros. Negotiations could heat up in the coming days, but contacts with the Turkish club have already taken place in a spirit of collaboration and positivity.
