Torino management have already been won over by Joe Hart.

The Manchester City goalkeeper is on a straight loan at Toro this season, without a permanent option.

However, Tuttosport says such has been Hart's impact, Torino's board is already discussing making an offer to sign the England No1 outright.

The Granata are confident they can sign Hart for a knockdown fee of less than €3 million.

The final word will be left to the player, though Hart has quickly been embraced by everyone connected to Toro and the city.
