On August 5th, Calciomercato.it reported Torino manager Ivan Jurić has asked the club to sign West Ham United’s Nikola Vlašić this summer.
It was also stated the Hammers are going easier with the negotiations with the Italian club for the 24-year-old’s transfer.
The attacking midfielder joined West Ham from CSKA Moscow in 2021 and managed only six league starts last season.
Tuttosport explains the Serie A side like the Croatia international, who has been out of David Moyes’ plans this campaign.
Torino face Palermo in the Coppa Italia clash later today. The report states a meeting has been scheduled between Jurić’s side and the West Ham player’s agent after the tie, where the former will try to find the right formula to carry out the deal.
The English club are ‘open’ to letting the ex-Everton man leave on a loan deal with a right of redemption.
Having disappointed at West Ham last campaign, Vlašić ‘wants a change of scenery’ in this window. Tuttosport are of the belief the Croatian would be ‘perfect’ for Jurić’s Torino.
