Agent admits Atletico Madrid beat Roma for Arsenal midfielder Torreira

His agent, Pablo Betancur, has confirmed he would be undergoing a medical at Atletico on Saturday ahead of his loan switch.

Roma were also keen on signing him, but Betancur told Inside Futbol on Friday: “Roma is out. Now Atletico. Yes, tomorrow medical visits."

Torreira has made 39 appearances for Arsenal since joining from Sampdoria in 2018, scoring four goals and playing a key part in their FA Cup triumph last season.
