In fact, the Gunners' manager Unai Emery decided to veto the sale, as he considers the Uruguayan a vital part of Arsenal's future. Therefore, as from the start, Milan's dream to sign the player remains very tough.

 

Torreira's current contract with the London side expires in 2023, and according to what has been learned by Calciomercato.com, a new contract could soon be on the table.

 

Soon, the leaders of Arsenal will sit down with the player's agent to discuss the renewal, which most likely will include an improved salary (Torreira currently earns €3m per year).

 

In other words, Milan will have to accelerate their efforts in order to even have a small chance of signing the former Sampdoria man.
