Torino may be coming round to the idea of selling Nikola Maksimovic to Napoli, but progress is slow.
The defender and long-term target of the Partenopei did not make life easier for himself by going on strike in an effort to force a transfer, pushing his club into a strict disciplinary approach.
It seemed the Granata were not going to sell Maksimovic to Napoli precisely as a punitive measure, but that may not be the case any longer.

On from reports that the club from Turin may accept a move if it includes the transfer of midfielder Mirko Valdifiori, today's editions of Tuttosport and the Corriere dello Sport both claim that there have been openings among the directors.
Tuttosport believe that Torino have communicated to Napoli their intention of selling the player.
The Corriere too says that there is a new willingness to discuss the transfer, although progress remains very slow, and the matter probably won't be resolved until the last few days of the market.
