Bonaventura provides versatility, experience and is available free of charge.
This is the opening Torino were looking for, as they are eager to reunite Torreira with his old Sampdoria coach Marco Giampaolo.
Torreira might be a little too expensive for the Granata, so they’ll try to bring him in on loan with option to buy.
The alternative to Torreira for Toro is Lucas Biglia, also a free agent after his contract with Milan expired.
