Torino have slapped in an official offer to sign out-of-favour Stoke City midfielder Giannelli Imbula this summer.
The French midfielder has failed to settle down in English football since joining Stoke from Porto in the winter transfer window last year for a big fee of €24m.
Stoke boss Mark Hughes conceded at the end of last season that things haven’t worked out for Imbula in England and the club are willing to listen to offers for him this summer.
Torino have been considering making a move for the 24-year-old defensive midfielder all summer and they have finally tabled an offer with the Premier League outfit.
According to Sky Italia, Torino have offered to sign him on loan with an option to make the move permanent for a fee of €15m at a later date.
