Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian has reiterated his desire to leave Old Trafford in the current transfer window. The Italian international is down the pecking order at the Premier League club, and reports have suggested that Jose Mourinho is open to selling the former Torino man if the price is right. Antonio Valencia is still seemingly the first-choice right back, …

​Juventus are practically assured of winning a seventh successive Serie A title after second-placed Napoli were held 2-2 by Torino on Sunday.

Torino’s Andrea Belotti is, understandably, a coveted player given the season he had in Serie A last term.  Despite playing for mid-table Torino, the 23-year-old managed to score 26 goals in 35 games for Il Toro and laid on eight assists for his teammates. With nine caps for Italy already it seems the young striker is destined for greatness and a …

Those who do not follow Serie A closely may not be too familiar with Torino hitman Andrea Belotti, but the 23-year-old Italian striker is attracting the interest of several of Europe’s big guns. Italy have been short on quality strikers for a number of years but they looked to have strengthened in that department. Manolo Gabbiadini’s impressive start at Southampton …

Joe Hart could be in for a shock move to Chelsea if Antonio Conte heeds the recommendations of some of his senior players. The Sun has suggested that a number of Chelsea players fancy the 29-year-old as a replacement for Thibaut Courtois, who is apparently seeking a return to Spain, where his partner and child still live, in the summer. Hart …

With reports continuing to circulate around the possibility of Chelsea stopper Thibaut Courtois being snapped up by Real Madrid, the Blues appear to have lined up a replacement, if necessary.  The Belgium international has so far had just eleven strikes hit the back of his net in the Premier League this term and is rightly deemed by some as the …

The past few weeks have seen a storm in a tea cup with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp defending his under performing goalkeeper Loris Karius from the criticism of pundit Gary Neville.  The fact remains neither Karius nor Simon Mignolet are deemed good enough to be trusted to help Liverpool to their first title in 27 years and reports in The …

Juventus’ lead at the top of Serie A was cut to two points at the weekend, while Barcelona and Real Madrid both recorded victories – but only just. To Serie A first, where Juve suffered defeat at the San Siro for the second time this season. Having already lost 2-1 to Inter, this time it was revitalised AC Milan’s turn to …

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte was in Italy this past weekend to take in Torino’s Serie A clash with Fiorentina, fuelling speculation the manager is interested in bringing goalkeeper Joe Hart to Stamford Bridge. While the reason for his attendance hasn’t been verified, The Mirror have indicated that Hart could be a possible target for Conte in light of the recent turbulence surrounding current …

Barcelona weren’t exactly feeling the absence of Lionel Messi on Saturday, as they bounced back from their midweek draw to destroy Sporting Gijon. With Messi missing, it was up to Suárez and Neymar to produce the goals for Luis Enrique’s side, and they duly obliged as one from the Uruguayan and two from the Brazilian, with strikes from Rafinha and …

Roma legend Francesco Totti scored his 250th goal for the club on Sunday and denied England goalkeeper Joe Hart a clean sheet during Roma’s 3-1 loss to Torino on Sunday. Totti’s second-half penalty gave Luciano Spalletti’s side some brief hope before on-loan Roma winger Iago Falque sealed off the game with Torino’s third goal just ten minutes after the Roma captain had pulled one back. …

Both Liverpool and Arsenal were looking to add a striker to their respective squads during the transfer window. Throughout the summer transfer window, both Arsenal and Liverpool made no secret of the fact that they were both actively pursuing a number of centre forwards ahead of the new season. Although Sadio Mane and Lucas Perez signed for Arsenal and Liverpool respectively, neither …

While Claudio Bravo’s Manchester City debut yesterday was a bit shaky, Joe Hart, the goalkeeper he replaced, has also been having a first match to forget in Italy. The England international joined Serie A side Torino on a season-long loan deal towards the end of the transfer window last month, looking for first-team football having slipped to third-choice keeper at …

While Manchester City’s incoming business has been completed for the summer, Pep Guardiola still has a lot of deadwood to shift. Selling the fringe players is proving to be something of a challenge for the 2014 Premier league champions, so a number of loan arrangements are set to be agreed within the next 12 or so hours. Further to the …

Joe Hart had made the move from the Manchester City bench to Serie A. Though his season-long loan deal to Torino is yet to be announced by either club, Hart’s agent has confirmed that the deal has been completed. Jonathan Barnett told Italian publication Tuttosport (as picked up by English sources): “Yes, Joe Hart will play at Torino. It’s done. …

At the climax of last season, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger decided to release midfield triumvirate, Mikel Arteta, Tomas Rosicky and Mathieu Flamini with the trio all out of contract at the North London club. While Mikel Arteta opted to retire and take up a coaching role at Manchester City alongside Pep Guardiola, neither Rosicky nor Flamini have sorted their futures yet. …

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has just over 48 hours to decide his immediate future. Demoted to second-choice keeper at the start of the season by new manager Pep Guardiola, Hart fell even further down the pecking order last week with the £17m arrival of Claudio Bravo from Barcelona. Faced with the prospect of little-to-no playing time at the Etihad …
