Juventus interested in signing Arsenal midfielder
Juventus are reportedly interested in signing out-of-favour Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira this summer.
The Uruguay international spent the previous season on loan at Fiorentina, but they decided against buying him.
Torreira will now be part of the Gunners' pre-season tour of the United States, but is likely to be sold soon.
According to Sport Italia, the Bianconeri are interested in signing him as he fits into Max Allegri's transfer plans.
The Bianconeri boss is keen on landing a new midfielder with a tireless workrate and the ability to win tackles.
Torreira is said to be an ideal target for him, but it remains to be seen whether Juventus are ready to pay a fee up front.
The Turin giants prefer to sign players on loan with buy clauses, but Torreira's deal at Arsenal expires next summer.
Unless Torreira is prepared to extend his Gunners deal, it is highly unlikely that they will allow him to leave on loan again.
