The newspaper explains the 24-year-old is ready to leave the Stamford Bridge permanently and can do so for €6m.

Piazon was once dubbed ‘the new Kaka’ and had been heavily linked with Juventus before joining Chelsea in January 2012.

However, he has only played three times for the Blues, instead being loaned to Malaga, Vitesse Arnhem, Eintracht Frankfurt, Reading and Fulham.

The Brazilian holds an Italian passport and can play anywhere along the front line, although he is primarily an inverted left winger.

Toro already have a Chelsea player on their books in left-back Ola Aina, who is in the midst of a season-long loan.
