Inter have opened negotiations with Sampdoria about signing Uruguayan midfielder Lucas Torreira, according to calciomercato.it. Both Pietro Ausilio and Walter Sabatini like the Blucerchiati player.
Sampdoria are reportedly willing to notify the Nerazzurri if any offers were to arrive for the player from other clubs such as for example Atletico Madrid who have been following the player for quite some time now and have sent scouts to watch him in the Serie A fixture against Chievo Verona where he scored twice and is currently valued at € 20 million.
The 21 year old Uruguayan midfielder started his career at Montevideo Wanderers before moving to Pescara’s Primavera team in Italy at the age of 18. There he enjoyed his breakthrough season with Sampdoria during the 2016/17 Seri A season. Torreira is a midfielder that loves to sit in front of the defence and is blessed with a polished right foot, similar to that of former Inter, Roma and Fiorentina playmaker, the Chilean David Pizarro.
