Speaking in an interview with Radio CRC, the agent of 22-year-old defensive midfielder Torreira Pablo Bentancur revealed:
"Napoli? It’s really too bad. Ancelotti wasn’t in place yet when the talks were ongoing between the involved parties. He could’ve been a great mentor and coach for Lucas but as my client told me, talks were too advanced with Arsenal at that point in time. If his move to Arsenal would’ve collapsed then a move to Napoli would’ve been perfect for him".
