Italian duo Torino and Bologna are set to drop their interest in Hull City striker Abel Hernandez.

Hull are desperate to get Hernandez off their wage bill after dropping into the Championship but have struggled to find suitors for the striker.

Torino and Bologna were said to be eyeing Hernandez but the Italian pair are likely to cool their interest in the Uruguayan international due to Hull's excessive demands.

The Tigers are looking to recoup the majority of the £10million they paid Palermo for the striker last summer but Torino and Bologna are instead offering a £500,000 loan offer with an option to purchase at the end of the campaign.
