Torino have agreed a deal for Sampdoria midfielder Karol Linetty, according to Sky Sport Italia, worth €7.5m plus bonuses.

The 25-year-old Poland international had also been linked with Fiorentina, Eintracht Frankfurt and Schalke 04.

However, the lure of a reunion with coach Marco Giampaolo proved too strong and he is heading for Torino.

His contract with Samp was due to expire next summer, as he has been at the club since leaving Lech Poznan in 2016.

Linetty already played 102 games under Giampaolo at Sampdoria from 2016-19.
