According to Il Messaggero, the ‘new Carlos Tevez’ has already been approached by the likes of Inter, Juventus, Chievo, Bologna, Udinese, Sassuolo, Atalanta and Palermo.

Torres has a €9m release clause in his contract, but Boca Juniors could be tempted to sell for €5m with a 20 per cent cut of any future transfer.

Juventus and Inter could have the upper hand if they sign the player in ‘synergy’ with another Serie A club, therefore allowing Torres to gain Serie A experience and not fill one of their precious non-EU player slots.
