Inter technical coordinator Walter Sabatini has made Sampdoria aware of the Nerazzurri’s interest in midfielder Lucas Torreira according to FCInterNews.it.

In addition to this, Sabatini, who has served as sporting director at Roma, Palermo and Lazio in the past, knows Torreira’s representatives and has also notified them at Inter are interested in him.

Inter are not the only club currently keeping tabs on the Uruguayan midfielder either. It is understood that an unnamed Premier League club have had men watching the 21-year-old in recent weeks and been impressed by his showings.

Inter have taken others interest in to account and will act accordingly and could well buy him in the summer mercato if he has not moved on already. One thing almost for sure is, despite the €25 million release clause, Samp president Massimo Ferrero will not look to sell the midfielder in January and deprive coach Marco Giampaolo of one of his star players.
