Torino are pushing to offer a new contract to in-demand midfielder Daniele Baselli, who is of interest to several clubs, including Southampton.
The 25-year-old midfielder played a key role in Torino finishing in the top half of the Serie A table this season, scoring six goals and providing five assists in 37 appearances for the club.
His performances have naturally attracted the prying eyes of prospective suitors, with clubs such as Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Lazio and Roma interested in him.
Premier League outfit Southampton are also monitoring his progress and Torino are aware of the growing interest surrounding Baselli ahead of the transfer window.
The Serie A club are keen to nip all the speculation in the bud by offering him a new deal and according to Il Messaggero, the club are planning to meet the player’s representatives in the next ten days.

Torino are confident that they will be able to reach an agreement over a new contract with Baselli and see him extend his stay at the club to put off his suitors from making a move for him this summer.
The 25-year-old joined Torino from Atalanta in 2015 and his impressive performances last season led to him making his debut for Italy against San Marino last week.
