Torino are reportedly so eager to punish Napoli for the Nikola Maksimovic saga, they’re pushing him towards Manchester City for Joe Hart.
The Serbia international went AWOL from training two weeks ago in protest at the failure to accept Napoli’s €25m offer.
Yesterday Granata President Urbano Cairo confirmed Maksimovic “can go,” while Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic declared the defender “is dead to me.”
Torino are reportedly so eager to punish Napoli for the Nikola Maksimovic saga, they’re pushing him towards Manchester City for Joe Hart.
The Serbia international went AWOL from training two weeks ago in protest at the failure to accept Napoli’s €25m offer.
Yesterday Granata President Urbano Cairo confirmed Maksimovic “can go,” while Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic declared the defender “is dead to me.”
There were suggestions that Toro could be on the verge of accepting a new proposal worth €26m plus €2m bonuses.
However, Tuttosport claim that Torino have another ace up their sleeve.
The interest in Manchester City goalkeeper Hart could intersect with Maksimovic, including the centre-back as part of an exchange deal.
Hart would only arrive on loan, even with City paying a large portion of his wages, but Maksimovic could raise funds.
It’s also implied that Torino have an ace up their sleeve when it comes to Hart, specifically assistant manager Attilio Lombardo, who knows the England international well from his time on Roberto Mancini’s Manchester City staff.
