Torino President Urbano Cairo confirms “clubs are interested” in Bruno Peres but “no written offers”.
It has been reported that Leicester City and Arsenal are interested in the wing-back, but he won’t be available on the cheap.
“I don’t worry about the transfer market, [sporting director Gianluca] Petrachi deals with that,” Cairo told Sky.
Torino President Urbano Cairo confirms “clubs are interested” in Bruno Peres but “no written offers”.
It has been reported that Leicester City and Arsenal are interested in the wing-back, but he won’t be available on the cheap.
“I don’t worry about the transfer market, [sporting director Gianluca] Petrachi deals with that,” Cairo told Sky.
“I’ve read numbers that are not appropriate for his quality. I’d never sacrifice the player for the numbers that I’ve read. If Paul Pogba is worth €120m…
“Clubs are interested, but there have been no written offers. If he stays with us he needs to have conviction. We’ll assess alternatives if a top-level offer comes in.”
Adem Ljajic has joined the Granata from Roma, and Cairo admits he’s been pursuing the Serb for some time.
“I told him that I’d come to see him [in today’s friendly] and he had to score a free-kick. He kept his promise.
“He’s our most expensive signing and I’d have to say, the fact we beat the record every year isn’t good news!
“I can’t say if he’s the best singing of my presidency, but he’s a player I’ve liked for a long time, since before he went to Roma.
“He was itching to come here, as I and the Coach [Sinisa Mihajlovic] were. He wanted to come right away, then there were some complications but he rejected everyone to come here.
“Other targets? We might get someone up-front, and maybe someone at the back even if we already have a lot there.
“Without naming names, we have a lot of opportunities. There are three players we’re working on, we should announce another midfielder soon. The goal is to do it as soon as possible.
“I won’t declare the targets because I’m superstitious, but if Sinisa is happy then I’m happy too. We’re after two Italians and a foreigner, but I won’t name names.”
