Torino president Urbano Cairo would like to see the Turin derby against Juventus staged in Beijing.

Cairo says Serie A should embrace such innovation.

"Why not play Torino-Juventus in Beijing? Now everything is possible, it's all feasible, there's no need to be scandalised by anything," Cairo told Radio 24.

“Football is global now, but clearly you also have to look after and preserve the fact that most Toro fans want to see their team in their stadium.

“Perhaps there could be a less important fixture played abroad, one that doesn't mean quite so much to the fans.

“We must be open to solutions that could be advantageous, while maintaining respect for the fans who have been tied to the club for decades.

“It's important to keep everything open to give a real push forward to Italian football. We need to find someone who is competent and will dedicate their entire time to what is best for football, ensuring it spreads all over the world and consequently also improves the game in Italy."
