The Uruguayan star expressed that he helped with Muslera's transfer to Galatasaray, saying, "Muslera has always had my back. He was more than just a captain for the team. We will miss him a lot.

Galatasaray's star player Lucas Torreira made statements in Austria, where his team is continuing preparations for the new season. Speaking to BeIN Sports, the Uruguayan footballer made a striking confession about Muslera.
''WE LOST IMPORTANT PLAYERS''
Torreira expressed that they lost important names from the squad, saying, "It's never easy for us. We won for three consecutive years and became league champions, but each one was an incredible struggle. Wherever we compete, we always have to give our all. This year we are going directly to the Champions League. We have also lost important players. On the other hand, our young players and new players are coming in. This season will also be a very tough season, just like every season. Our rivals are also transferring good players. That can pose a challenge for us. We will fight to bring Galatasaray to the top again this year, as we always do." he said.
''I THANK HIM FOR BRINGING ME HERE''
Torreira confessed that he helped with the transfer of his compatriot Muslera, saying, "I have worked with very great goalkeepers, but I need to place Muslera in a separate category. Because he was very helpful. He was not just a teammate but also a companion. He always had my back. He was more than a captain for the team. We will miss him a lot. Even if he is on the other side of the world, we will continue to communicate with him. I thank him very much for bringing me here." he expressed.
''I WAS AFRAID OF TURKEY''
Continuing his words, the star player said, "Before coming to Turkey, I had some impressions about the league, but I didn't know much. My knowledge about the country was very limited, and I was afraid. Nando convinced me, and I'm glad he did. I also saw how much the Turks love their country. I fell in love with it here. When my family and friends come, we have a great time here. I represent Galatasaray on the field, but off the field, fans of other teams also show me love. I like the affection of the people. When you show love to people, they reciprocate in the same way." he stated.
