Torino are determined to lure Emanuele Giaccherini to Turin this summer.

Reports suggest that Il Toro have opened talks with the Sunderland winger who is certain to leave the Stadium of Light.

It is believed that a fee of £2million has been agreed between Sinisa Mihajlovic's Torino and the Black Cats, paving the way for Giaccherini's return to Italy.

The Italy international starred on loan for Bologna last season and was wanted back permanently by the Rossoblu, while Fiorentina had also showed interest, but it appears as though Torino have won the race for the 31-year-old.
