The Uruguayan midfielder Lucas Torreira, a player for Atlético de Madrid and the national team, assured this Thursday that he will do everything possible to play for Boca Juniors.
"I'm dying to play in Boca," said the fierce 25-year-old midfielder, who is in Uruguay, where he traveled to accompany his mother, Viviana Di Pascua, who died this Wednesday of complications suffered after contracting coronavirus.
"When my mother passed away, I told my representative that I want to come to Boca: I don't want to play in Europe anymore. Nobody gave me anything, I'm happy with what I have, money gives you pleasure but it's short. I want to be close to mine that they need me, "Torreira dispatched himself.
And he added: "I would force myself to come to Boca. My father, crying, told me that it was time to play in Boca. I always liked Boca, I don't know La Bombonera, it's something that I have here inside and I have to indulge myself. Hopefully It can be given to me, "said Torreira, who played the last World Cup in Russia (5 PJ) and the Copa América 2019 (3 PJ) with La
Celeste
, in dialogue with ESPN.
Although he assured that the idea is to join the La Ribera club as soon as possible, Torreira put cold cloths and warned that the priority now is to rejoin Atlético de Madrid.
"Now I have to go back and focus on Atlético. I'm more than proud, I'm calm, the teammates supported me. You have to be there, no matter how much it hurts, there's a month and a half of competition left, hopefully I can end up raising LaLiga," he said.
In that sense, taking into account the value of his pass, the footballer spoke about the possibility of a loan assignment.
"Hopefully the teams will agree and give a year on loan. Because I don't know how many millions I am worth, but for Boca it is a lot of money," acknowledged the former Pescara, Sampdoria and England's Arsenal.
Torreira even dared to dream of reaching Boca along with his teammate Edinson Cavani, who also made public his desire to wear the blue and gold jacket.
“I talk a lot with Cavani, he's a great guy ... I hope I can come and share a team with him.
I have a nice relationship, "he said in reference to the Uruguayan striker, who would have the hours counted at Manchester United.
