Stoke City are considering making a double swoop for the Udinese duo of Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu and Gabriel Torje this summer.
The Premier League outfit have been keeping tabs on Badu for weeks and were close to completing a deal in the past, but pulled back as they also want another Udinese player as part of the agreement.
Udinese have set an asking price of €7m for the Ghanaian midfielder, and while Stoke seem to be ready to pay the price, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, they want a discount on Romanian winger Torje.
Stoke boss Mark Hughes has been keeping a keen eye on the winger, who was on loan at Turkish side Osmanlispor, and is keen to snap him up from Udinese in the coming months.
Currently valued at €3m, Stoke are unwilling to pay such a fee for the 26-year-old and the club are hoping to make him part of the deal that would see both Badu and Torje move to the Britannia Stadium this summer.

Joining Udinese in 2011, the winger has played just 22 times for the Serie A outfit, and has spent time on loan stints at Granada, Espanyol and Konyaspor over the last few seasons.
Torje scored three goals and provided six assists at Osmanlispor last season and has a contract until next summer with Udinese.
