Torino declared the report of an approach for Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio was “fake news of the day.”
The frankly improbable story had been circulating over the last couple of days.
No longer part of Juve’s first team plans, the 32-year-old could terminate his contract by mutual consent and go elsewhere.
Although Monaco, MLS and the Chinese Super League were mentioned as possible options, rumours also emerged that Torino would offer Marchisio a contract.

No longer part of Juve’s first team plans, the 32-year-old could terminate his contract by mutual consent and go elsewhere.
Although Monaco, MLS and the Chinese Super League were mentioned as possible options, rumours also emerged that Torino would offer Marchisio a contract.
It would allow him to remain in his home town, having spent practically his entire career at Juventus.
“Fake news of the day: Marchisio to Toro” read a simple tweet sent out by the official Torino social media account.
