Sampdoria warned off Atletico Madrid saying that Lucas Torreira will not be sold anytime soon. The Spanish giants had been linked with a £40m deal for the Uruguayan defensive midfielder in January, but Sampdoria have made their position clear.
According to Sampdoria's lawyer, Antonio Romei, the Italian outfit will not be considering any possible deal for one of their star players.
In a recent interview with Telenord, Romei even refused to discuss the possible details of a new contract, telling the broadcaster: "Clauses? We won't talk about them. There are some complicated, contractual issues. Torreira is a treasure for Samp and he’ll be with us for the rest of the season.
