Toro deny Nainggolan talk

Torino have denied shock reports claiming that they are close to signing Inter midfielder Radja Nainggolan.

La Repubblica and ANSA, one of Italy’s leading news agencies, ran the line that Inter were prepared to send Nainggolan to Toro on loan and cover half of his wages.

However, Granata patron Urbano Cairo replied when Sportitalia asked him if there was any truth in the speculation: “No, no, no. We’ve never talked about it.”

The broadcaster, for its part, rates the chances of a deal happening as ‘impossible’.
