Lucas Torreira joins Galatasaray

Midfielder Lucas Torreira has joined Turkish Super Lig side Galatasaray in a permanent transfer.

The Uruguayan international made 89 appearances for us after joining from Sampdoria in July 2018. He was part of our FA Cup final match-winning squad in 2020 and his goal in the 4-2 north London derby win at Emirates Stadium in November 2018 was a notable highlight during his first season with us.

Torreira spent the last two seasons away on loan in Spain and Italy. In 2020/21 he was with Atletico Madrid, where he made 19 league appearances in the team’s La Liga winning campaign.
