Italian Serie A side Torino are willing to meet the 10 million euros (approximately N4.1 billion) asking price for Chelsea defender Ola Aina, according to reports.
Gazzetta dello Sport writes on its print edition that Torino have decided to take up the purchase option inserted into the deal taking Aina to the club and hope to conclude the deal by June 2019.
The Nigeria international has impressed since his arrival at The Maroons, playing multiple positions, including left midfield and right midfield.
Chelsea loaned Aina out for the second time in his career to further his development and this has paid off.
The 22-year-old is the fifth player of Nigerian descent spending time away from Chelsea on loan, with Victor Moses (Fenerbahce), Tammy Abraham (Aston Villa), Kenneth Omeruo (Leganes) and Fikayo Tomori (Derby County) all loaned out.
Aina has played 20 games in all competitions for Torino, logging 1,497 minutes.
