Tuttosport: Torino ready to test Milan’s resolve with €15m bid for young midfielder

Torino will try and keep Tommaso Pobega beyond the expiry of his loan spell at the end of the season and they have an offer ready, a report claims.

Tuttosport (via MilanNews) report that with the €11m that Torino will save from not buying Josip Brekalo – who told the management that he does not want to stay beyond his loan spell – Torino could thus have the liquidity to make a serious attempt to sign Pobega.

The paper even claim that Urbano Cairo and the Granata management could put €15m on the table, a figure that they hope will make Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara at least sit down at the negotiating table.

Given he is a youth academy product it would be a pure capital gain which gives further room for manoeuvre on the market, but the last word will belong to head coach Stefano Pioli and who he wants in his squad.
