According to Tuttosport newspaper, Bayern Munich are among the clubs monitoring Torino and Italy defender Alessandro Buongiorno and will likely make an attempt to sign him at the end of the season.
Buongiorno has emerged as a top transfer target for Stefano Pioli’s Milan this month, but Torino are unwilling to sell the 24-year-old, as President Urbano Cairo has repeatedly claimed.
The Granata have set their asking price at €40m and expect a bidding war for their captain next summer.
Friday’s printed edition of Tuttosport newspaper, on page eight, reports Bayern Munich are among the clubs interested in Buongiorno for June. The Bavarians had reportedly opened talks with Torino in December 2023 following an injury to Matthijs de Ligt, but with Torino unwilling to sell, they are ready to resume negotiations in June.
The report claims the race for Buongiorno will heat up after the Euros, with Milan, Bayern and two Premier League clubs interested in the Azzurri centre-back.
Buongiorno’s Torino contract runs out in June 2028. A product of the club’s Academy, he snubbed a move to Atalanta last summer.
