Torino slam ₦4.7billion price tag on Ex-Chelsea star

The Super Eagles star is no longer happy in Turin, and he could be on the move by next summer

Italian Serie A side Torino have slammed a 10million euros fee on Super Eagles defender Ola Aina.

The Super Eagles star left Chelsea for the Bulls in 2019. After a season which saw him make 32 league appearances, he returned to the Premier League on a loan deal at Fulham.

However, he returned to Torino last summer after Fulham got relegated to the Championship.

At the beginning of the season, the 25-year-old was a crucial part of the Torino backline. But since he returned from the African Cup of Nations, he has not kicked a ball for Torino.

Aina was linked with a return to the Premier League in January, but it did not materialise. Nevertheless, with Aina’s lack of playtime in Turin, a move to the Premier League could be in the offing.

According to FootballNews24, Torino are willing to let the Chelsea academy product leave, but they would request for 10million euros (₦4.7billion) before they let Aina go.

Aina has spent most of his life in England, and it is expected that he would favour a return to the Premier League rather than elsewhere.
