Torino are close to agreeing a deal to bring Fiorentina’s Josip Ilicic to Turin as president Urbano Cairo attempts to make major additions to his squad ahead of the January transfer deadline.
La Stampa understands that the Slovenian’s tempestuous stay in Florence is coming to an end.
After rejecting the advances of Bologna it is believed that he will ask the Viola hierarchy to sanction a transfer to Torino.
Cairo will then move to strengthen his team’s attack with Inter’s troubled striker Pablo Osvaldo recognised as one option. Roma’s Mattia Destro is another, although the Granata will struggle to meet his €20 million valuation.
