According to Calcio Mercato, Torino president Urbano Cairo and sporting director Davide Vagnati are set to begin contract negotiations with Nigerian defender Ola Aina.
Aina is nearing the end of his contract with Torino, with his four-year deal expiring in June 2023.
Torino's right-back options include Wilfried Singo, Valentino Lazaro, and Mergim Vojvoda, so Aina is not manager Ivan Juric's first choice.
However, the Super Eagles star has only made six appearances for the Grenades in Serie A, and the club must decide whether to extend his contract.
Aina earned a professional contract at Stamford Bridge in 2016 after excelling at the Chelsea youth academy.
The versatile full-back failed to nail a starting spot for the Blues and after a temporary spell at Hull City, he joined Torino on loan in 2018.
The Nigeria international impressed in Turin and sealed a permanent transfer in 2019 for a reported €9.80 million.
Aina spent the 2020/2021 season on loan at Fulham but he could not earn a permanent contract in London after the English side got relegated from the Premier League.
Still held in high esteem in England, Aina was a subject of transfer interest from a couple of Premier League clubs including West Ham in the summer.
