“I don’t want to be a smoke seller, but I’m dying to play in Boca, the truth is.. I am very honest. And every time I have to speak, I speak very naturally and express my feelings because I have already learned in football that sometimes you have to deal with your feelings and the truth. I I wish with soul and life to be able to play in Boca, I talk a lot with Román (Riquelme), I talk a lot. I am a good friend of Edi (Cavani) also and we have had our talks, but I understand the reality of the club, of the country, my reality too. that today I am part of Galatasaray,” he told ESPN.
“I have just renewed my contract until 2028 and it is not easy. It is not that, even though it is a dream, one day I will wake up crossed and say ‘I am going to Argentina’, because that is not the case. I wish it was that easy and I had the possibility. But I am clear that Galatasaray is going to be my last club in Europe and I want to get to Boca not too big, because I consume a lot of Argentine football, social networks, you (journalists) “They talk a lot, and it’s not easy football,” explained the midfielder who shares the squad with Mauro Icardi.

Fanatic in defeat
Torreira also recalled how his xeneize passion multiplied right after attend the fall in the Madrid Superclásico for the final of the Copa Libertadores. “I went to see the 2018 final with Gastón Ramírez, who is playing in Peñarol today. And I felt something for Boca, but From that day, from that moment, not because of anger but because of the sadness of having lost that final, something else came out from within that told me ‘you have to be part of that club’. And for many years I have been fighting and fighting for that moment to come.”
“I remember a few days after my mother’s death I had spoken with Román, and there was the possibility but well, I was at Atlético and it was very difficult. I think because of the history of the club, because of the players who have also passed. .. The memories I have are Riquelme’s farewells, (Martin) Palermo too… When I arrived in Italy they compared me a lot with (Carlos) Tevez too, so that’s where I think he’s coming from,” he added.

If they have beaten Argentina and Brazil, which has not been beaten in a long time, and well on other days a great match with Mexico, I think they will come well to the Copa América. I envy them from my healthy place and I have a great relationship with everyone. There is a group, as also happens in the Argentine National Team.
