Alessandro Buongiorno has kept up his stellar form with Torino this season after almost joining Atalanta last summer. Despite a contract renewal, the defender might be on his way out in the next window considering the increasing interest in his services, but his club will want to be remunerated adequately, TuttoSport informed.
The Granata held firm on their demands in January when Milan came knocking. In reality, the Granata wanted to keep him to try qualifying for a European competition.
Torino want at least €40M to part ways with Buongiorno, a sum that won’t be easy to reach for fwllow Serie A clubs. He has some suitors in the Premier League too.
Inter have shown the most interest, but they could at most propose a package of money and a few youngsters. They could tender Valentin Carboni, with a buyback clause, Salvatore Pio Esposito, and Martin Satriano to sweeten the pot. They are tracking Bologna’s Sam Beukema as a cheaper alternative.
Juventus seem keener on Riccardo Calafiori and might be rekindle their interest only if they sold Gleison Bremer. Milan are currently working on other options.
Our Take on Buongiorno
He’s been great and has gone up a level, which doesn’t always happen for players in the minnows who almost leave and end up staying. The Euro will be a big showcase for him next summer. If he’s open to going abroad, it’ll be hard for the Serie A powerhouses to prevent him from leaving Italy.
