Palace buoyed in Borini chase after Torino back away

Torino don’t appear to be interested in AC Milan forward and Crystal Palace target Fabio Borini, despite having been offered the player, according to reports.

The Turin club are looking to sign another forward in order to complete their front trio that already consists of Andrea Belotti and Iago Falque. While talks have stalled over their primary target Simone Verdi, Borini has been offered to the Serie A club with Milan keen to offload.

In a positive move for Palace, who are rivalling Premier League rivals Aston Villa for the £13million rated man, Torino President Urbano Cairo and sports director Massimo Bava appear uninterested in the former Liverpool man, as reports Calciomercato. This could leave the door open for Roy Hogson to complete a capture of the Italy international.

The Eagles are keen to strengthen their forward line this summer, having already lost Bakary Sako and Jordan Ayew, while Arsenal remain keen on signing Wilfried Zaha.

Aston Villa have spent just under £100million this summer and with Palace yet to spend anything in this window, now could be their opportunity.
