Torino hard at work on Simeone, Oristanio, Idzes and more

Giovanni Simeone was a surprise report on July 26, but now Torino are on the verge of an €8m deal with Napoli, while talks continue for Gaetano Oristanio, Jay Idzes and Kassoum Ouattara too.

It had been an exclusive here over a week ago that the Granata were interested in Simeone and the negotiations have reached the final details to get an agreement over the line.

Napoli are ready to give the all clear for him to undergo his medical, with the fee set at a total of around €8m.

Simeone’s arrival will allow Duvan Zapata all the time he needs to make a full recovery from that serious knee injury.

Torino intensifying transfer activity in August

Meanwhile, Torino are also working hard on other deals, as we already saw our exclusives on Ardian Ismajli, Franco Israel and Cyril Ngonge pan out.

They remain very interested in Oristanio, a link we made exclusively here on June 27, and over the next few days there will be more discussions with Venezia.

A deal could be done on loan without the obligation to buy, but only an option, so we shall see.

Their meeting with Venezia could also stretch to a conversation about Idzes, although Sassuolo remain on his tail too, in case Saul Coco is sold.

Watch out also for AS Monaco left-back Ouattara, as revealed by ToroZone, who is also on their radar.
