The Uruguay international is in his second season with the Gunners having moved to the Premier League club from Sampdoria in July 2018 for a reported £26million fee.
Torreira made 50 appearances in all competition in his debut campaign, including starting in the Europa League final defeat to domestic rivals Chelsea in Baku.
The 24-year-old appeared set to miss the rest of the 2019-20 season after fracturing his ankle in a FA Cup tie with Portsmouth in early March, though the hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic means he will be fit to feature when the action resumes.
However, Pablo Bentancur - Torreira’s representative - has revealed the player’s desire to seal a move back to Serie A.
“He was a bit angry about some technical issues, but later recovered,” Bentancur told TodoMercadoWeb.
“The injury came, though it was fortunately less serious than expected. Today he is fully recovered, I think he will be an important man in the next [transfer] market.
“I will have to talk to Arsenal. The player would like to return to Italy, but it must be admitted that in England they have treated him very well.”
