Torino are in negotiations with Napoli for midfielder Stanislav Lobotka, but while the Granata want a loan, the Partenopei demand an obligation to buy.
According to Tuttosport, Toro have set their sights firmly on Lobotka, who managed only 12 competitive appearances this season, most of them off the bench.
He was signed from Celta Vigo for almost €21m in January 2020, but struggled to earn his place in the squad under Gennaro Gattuso.

La Repubblica report that Torino have asked to take Lobotka on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.
However, Napoli are holding out for an obligation to buy, giving them some guarantee of getting their money back.
The Slovakia international has a salary worth €2m per season, so it is within Torino’s capabilities.
Lobotka is not particularly enthusiastic about the move either, as Toro are currently bottom of the Serie A table.
