The last days of the market for Torino, which wants to fill the last gaps in the squad available to Marco Baroni with some targeted shots. In particular, the granata are on the hunt for a left-back, as announced by Urbano Cairo himself: the Piedmontese want a player capable of alternating and replacing in case Cristiano Biraghi during next season.

The search is mainly for young profiles, such as that of Anass Salah-Eddine, a Roma-owned full-back who does not seem to be considered by new coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Another name is that of Niccolò Fortini, a promising class of 2006 from Fiorentina to whom Biraghi could act as a henchman under the Mole. However, the Viola would like to retain ownership of his tag.

Staying in Italy, Antonino Gallo has long been followed by the Granata, but Lecce seems determined to keep him next season.

Foreign countries like Kassoum Ouattara, a 20-year-old destined to leave Monaco and also followed by other Serie A clubs, and 2005-born Mahamadou Nagida, a Cameroonian playing for Rennes with great potential. Also watch out for 22-year-old Jaouen Hadjam of Young Boys: the Franco-Algerian player was highly regarded at the beginning of the market but his valuation is still very high.
