Torino in ambitious move for Giovinco

Torino are seriously considering a bid for Juventus forward Sebastian Giovinco, Tuttosport has learned.

I Granata widely expect to cash in on Alessio Cerci before the end of the summer transfer window and they plan to invest part of the transfer fee into a new attacker.

Having signed Fabio Quagliarella to replace Ciro Immobile, Torino appear ready to do more business with arch rivals Juventus.

According to Tuttosport, I Granata are hot on the trail of Sebastian Giovinco, who has just a year left on his current deal.

While the Bianconeri have yet to offer the Italy international a contract extension, Torino aim to submit an €8 million proposal for his services.

They would also be prepared to match his €2.5 million yearly wage, so there is a chance Giovinco would be tempted by the opportunity.

Torino host Inter Milan next Sunday in their first match of the new Serie A campaign, with home win paying 2/1.
