Lucas Torreira could still move to AC Milan, his agent has hinted.

The Arsenal midfielder only joined Arsenal from Sampdoria last summer, but a return to Italy has been mooted.

A route back to Serie A was made the more likely when Torreira recently revealed that he prefers Italy to England.

And his agent, Pablo Bentancurt, admitted today: “I know nothing about the Rossoneri’s interest, no one contacted me.

“I have learned of this possibility through the press.

“Would [AC Milan director, Marco] Giampaolo’s calling be special for Lucas? Yes, clearly.”

Torreira instantly established himself as a fan favourite after arriving for £22m last summer. The tough-tackling diminutive midfielder made 34 appearances for Arsenal in his debut season.

The Uruguayan would reportedly cost Milan around £40m, and could offer centre-mid Franck Kessie to the Gunners as part of the deal.

Gooners, would you sell Torreira for £40million + Kessie? Let us know in the comments…
