Fresh reports from Italy claim that Torino are demanding Milan midfielder Bryan Cristante in a swap deal that would send Alessio Cerci in the opposite direction.
However, the 19-year-old Cristante is believed to be central to plans for the Rossoneri this season and head coach Filippo Inzaghi will be reluctant to accept this offer.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani and Torino chairman Urban Cairo recently spoke over phone to negotiate on the ever-dragging Cerci deal when the latter decided to ask for Cristante.
And since the Rossoneri have termed the asking price for the former Roma player to be exorbitant, they might be forced to offer cash plus Cristante to the Granata.
The 27-year-old has become an integral part of the Torino side in recent seasons, witnessing his market value rise as he propelled the club to a seventh place finish last year.
