Torino defender Alessandro Buongiorno is hot property for this summer, as Inter reportedly join Napoli, Tottenham and Juventus tracking him.
The centre-back is widely expected to leave Toro at the end of the season, although he will command an impressive fee in the region of €40m.
There had been reports in the Corriere dello Sport this week that Napoli were ready to offer €35m plus another €5m in bonuses for the Italy international.
Race is on for Buongiorno
Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio warns that Inter have also set their sights on Buongiorno, who would be considerably cheaper than their first choice, Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini.
The Nerazzurri have already bolstered their squad with free agents Piotr Zielinski from Napoli and FC Porto striker Medhi Taremi.
Their next target has to be in defence and Buongiorno fits the bill, as he is Italian and already accustomed to a three-man system.
Juventus are also in the background, although bringing ‘future captain’ Buongiorno across from their city rivals could be tricky after Gleison Bremer already made the same controversial journey.
Tottenham Hotspur are the other potential contenders for Buongiorno this summer.
Buongiorno turns 25 in June and has three senior caps for Italy under his belt, but is expected to be part of Luciano Spalletti’s Italy squad at EURO 2024.
His contract with Torino runs to June 2028 and Buongiorno was given the honour on Saturday of reading out the names of the 31 people who died at Superga in 1949, wiping out the Grande Torino squad in a plane crash.
