Super Eagles star’s future in the balance with Torino stalling on contract talks

The Nigerian defender just has a few months left on his contract, and the Bulls are yet to place a solid offer on the table

Super Eagles fullback Ola Aina faces uncertainty concerning his future as his contract expires at the end of the season, but contract extension talks at Torino have stalled.

Aina joined Torino in 2019, but he went on a season-long to Fulham. The Super Eagles defender returned then returned to Turin after an unsuccessful stint in London.

Last summer, Aina was linked with a move to the Premier League, with West Ham and Fulham amongst his suitors. However, the Chelsea Academy product remained at Torino.

Aina has had a decent season at Torino, featuring in ten of their games and scoring once. Nonetheless, his future still hangs in the balance, as his contract expires at the end of the season.

According to Torinogranata, the club has not entered serious talks with Aina concerning a new contract. As such, the Nigerian defender is free to leave when his contract expires in June.

Aina could favor a return to the Premier League, as he was strongly linked with Fulham and West Ham this season. Aside from his two-year stay at Torino, Aina has never played for any team outside the shores of England.
