Torino president Urbano Cairo is already in contact with Chelsea about a permanent deal for Ola Aina.
The Nigeria fullback is on a season-long loan at Toro and has already done enough to convince management to seek an outright deal for the youngster.
Tuttosport says talks have kicked off between the clubs, though Cairo has been warned he cannot expect a discount on Aina's fee.
Indeed, he has been warned that Toro face competition for the player with interest arriving from across Europe.
Toro have been assured they can buy Aina, but with rival offers, they cannot expect any type of negotiation on the defender's original price.
