Torino FC has set a substantial valuation for their defender Saul Coco, indicating they are unwilling to entertain offers below €20 million, including performance-related bonuses. Meanwhile, Sassuolo has emerged as a potential competitor for Jay Idzes, who is being considered as Coco`s replacement.
Despite ongoing speculation about Coco`s availability in the transfer market, Torino remains reluctant to part ways with the player. The club`s stance has been consistent for several weeks, emphasizing that Coco will only be sold if an appropriate offer is received and the player agrees to personal terms.
Foreign Clubs Eyeing Coco
If a bid approaching €20 million, inclusive of performance bonuses, were to be submitted, it would represent a significant profit for Torino. The club acquired Coco from Las Palmas just a year ago for €8.2 million, plus additional bonuses and a 10% sell-on clause.
Should Torino`s asking price be met, their primary target to fill Coco`s position in defense would be Jay Idzes, currently playing for Venezia. However, as exclusively reported last week, Sassuolo has also shown interest in Idzes, potentially complicating Torino`s plans.
