Over the past few weeks, there has been talk that Torino could make a move for Nikola Vlasic, who has been a flop since his return to the Premier League with West Ham United.
The Hammers paid a lot of money for the attacking midfielder, but he never managed to fully convince David Moyes after the transfer, failing to have the desired impact at London Stadium.
That’s why talk of an exit has grown of late, and while Napoli were reportedly keen and made a loan offer, it’s Torino the player wants to move to.
This is what Tuttosport are reporting on Tuesday, as they have the trump card named Ivan Juric up their sleeve.
The manager is seen as a ‘point of reference’ of Croatian football management, and is certainly the type of manager who could help get the best out of his compatriot.
This is where Tuttosport add that Vlasic has ‘repeated to Moyes and the club’ that it’s ‘pointless’ to offer him to other clubs that could be better for them, because he ‘only wants Torino’.
He has reportedly ‘screamed’ this at them these past couple of days, making it clear that if he is to leave West Ham, it will be for the Turin club, who have returned with a ‘paid loan and an option to buy at a figure far lower than €21m’.
The ball is now in West Ham’s court.
