Torino await Belhanda news

Torino are still waiting for an answer from Dynamo Kyiv for creative midfielder Younes Belhanda.

Italian papers today suggest Toro made an offer to take the player on loan for €1.5m, plus an option to buy for a further €8.5m including performance-related bonuses.

The club in Ukraine are not in any particular rush to give Toro a reply, as they would prefer to sell outright for €10m.

It’s reported Torino already agreed terms with Belhanda and the player wants this transfer, but there is another issue at play.

Schalke 04 could dive in for Belhanda if their negotiations with Corinthians fall through for Renato Augusto.

Naturally, Dynamo Kyiv hope to spark a bidding war and raise the price-tag.
