AC Milan want Lucas Torreira from Arsenal in exchange for Franck Kessie: report

AC Milan are willing to sanction the departure of Franck Kessie to Arsenal, provided Lucas Torreira moves in the opposite direction in a straight-swap deal, a report from MilanNews24 claims.

The Gunners are likely to strengthen their midfield department during the summer, particularly with Daniel Ceballos expected to return to Real Madrid once his loan stint concludes.

According to MilanNews24, the north London side have made contact with the Rossoneri regarding the availability of Kessie and they are willing to spend between £17.5m (€20m) and £22m (€25m) for his services.

However, the Rossoneri don’t seem keen on a straight-cash agreement and they have instead made the proposal to sign Torreira in exchange for the Ivory Coast international.
