Torino are interested in Arda Kaldırım

According to Italian media Torinogranata.it, Torino is eyeing Turkish young defender Arda Kaldırım, who currently plays for Goztepe, as they search for new recruits. However, they face competition from teams like Lyon, Verona, and Feyenoord.

Torino bid farewell to Yurić this summer and chose Ivan Jurić as their new coach. The club's management is determined to strengthen appropriately in this transfer window to achieve desired results in the upcoming season. With Nicolas Nkoulou close to joining Napoli, bringing in a new central defender is a priority. In this context, Turkish U21 international Arda Kaldırım, who plays for Goztepe, has caught their attention.

Born in 2003, this young defender appeared 31 times in the Turkish Super Lig last season, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist. Hailing from Bursaspor, he is considered one of Turkey's most promising young talents. However, completing the deal for Kaldırım won't be easy for Torino, as aside from them, he has also attracted interest from Anderlecht, Genk, Feyenoord, Lyon, and Verona.
