Arsenal new boy Lucas Torreira says his departure from Sampdoria is only a ‘see you later’ after wearing ‘the most beautiful jersey in the world’.
Torreira only spent two of his three years at Samp in their first team, but the Uruguay midfielder made it clear just how much the Blucerchiati meant to him, having since joined Arsenal in a €30m deal.
“Goodbye is too strong a word, so I’ll just say ‘see you later’,” he wrote on Instagram.

“Goodbye is too strong a word, so I’ll just say ‘see you later’,” he wrote on Instagram.
“I’m doing this because Sampdoria have been my family for two seasons and will stay in my heart forever.
“I’m saying ‘see you later’ because, even though I’ll be far away, I’ll never forget the importance of having had you all on my side since my first training session, during which time I wore the most beautiful jersey in the world.
“I’ve grown a lot in these two years, you’ve welcomed me, trusted me and made me feel like one of you. And I’ll stay one of you.
“Hello, thank you and see you later, Sampdoria. You’ll always have one more fan. A hug, Lucas.”
