Arsenal have been linked with interest in young AC Milan goalkeeper Lorenzo Torriani, according to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The 20 year old is currently part of Milan Futuro, the reserve side set up by the Italian club to develop young players.
Torriani’s route into the AC Milan senior team has become unclear, despite his steady growth and strong displays at youth level.
Arsenal have a long history of tracking young talents across Europe and beyond, with a clear focus on future planning.
The North London club are always alert to chances where a promising player could fit into their long term project.
A move for Torriani would follow that same approach, with the club keen to secure top young profiles early.
Arsenal impressed by Torriani display
Torriani caught Arsenal’s attention during AC Milan’s pre season meeting with Mikel Arteta’s side earlier this year.
The young goalkeeper delivered an eye catching performance that stood out despite the friendly nature of the match.
He saved three penalties during the game, showing calmness, sharp reflexes, and strong mental focus.
Those moments left a positive impression on Arsenal’s coaching staff and recruitment team watching closely.
Torriani’s showing suggested he has the tools needed to grow into a high level keeper over time.
Milan future still undecided
Despite the interest, reports indicate Torriani is likely to remain with AC Milan for now. The plan is for discussions to take place in the summer to decide the best path for his career.
Milan may look to renew his contract as a sign of trust in his long term potential. The Italian club are also keeping an eye on the situation around first choice keeper Mike Maignan.
Contract talks with Maignan have yet to reach an agreement, creating some uncertainty around the position. This could open a small door for Torriani to gain limited senior minutes in the coming seasons.
At 20, there is still time for careful planning without rushing important decisions. From Arsenal’s side, the goalkeeping group is already strong and well stocked.
David Raya remains the clear number one, while Kepa Arrizabalaga brings vast experience. Training alongside such players would offer huge learning value for any young goalkeeper.
For now, the future for Torriani – who stands at 6ft 4in – remains open, with Milan holding control and Arsenal watching closely.
