Exclusive: Torino’s Oristanio wait & Bologna’s Asllani pursuit – the latest

Gaetano Oristanio is still hoping for that Torino breakthrough, thought the club first needs to move some players out.

Talks with Venezia are ongoing, practically a soap opera lasting almost two months since we first told you about it exclusively.

However, it needs to be wrapped up, otherwise rivals could step in. In the last few hours, Verona have made an enquiry, taking stock of Suslov’s serious injury and the need to find a replacement. And even a foreign club has requested information, waiting for the final decision.

Asllani and Bologna: total confirmation four days later

Kristjan Asllani is a major target for Bologna. This confirms what we told you exclusively four days ago, when we reported on direct contacts between Inter and the Rossoblu club.

Bologna fully intend to push ahead. The deal, in Inter’s view, is valued at more than €15 million and won’t be set up as a loan with an option to buy. Bologna’s plan is to purchase the player outright.

With only two weeks left in the transfer window, any move now could be decisive. Other clubs that have shown interest in Asllani must now wait, because Bologna have taken important steps forward.
