Cyril Ngonge is not part of Napoli’s plans for next season, so Torino are trying to tempt him over, potentially in an exchange with Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.

The 25-year-old Belgium international just made the move to Napoli from Hellas Verona at a cost of €20m in January 2024.

He only made 18 Serie A appearances on the way to the Scudetto this season, plus three in the Coppa Italia, and is eager to get more regular playing time.

Torino have set their sights firmly on Ngonge for next term and will meet with his agent to discuss the terms of the potential move.

It is possible that the Granata will involve goalkeeper Milinkovic-Savic in an exchange with Napoli, although the clubs could also try to do a deal just for the attacking winger with cash.

He can play as a right-sided wide man, or in a more central role as centre-forward or even support striker.
