Torino has set a high valuation for defender Saul Coco, indicating their reluctance to sell him for less than €20 million, a figure that includes potential add-ons. Concurrently, Sassuolo poses a significant challenge to Torino in the pursuit of Jay Idzes, a player considered a potential successor for Coco.
For several weeks, it has been widely understood that Coco would only depart from the Granata if an appropriate offer materializes and the player himself agrees to personal terms for a transfer.
While Coco`s name frequently appears in transfer market discussions, the underlying fact remains that Torino is not particularly keen on parting ways with him.

Should a bid approaching €20 million, inclusive of performance-related bonuses, be received, it would represent a substantial profit for the club.
Notably, Coco was acquired from Las Palmas just a year ago for a modest €8.2 million, plus add-ons and a 10 percent share of any future resale value.
If Torino`s asking price for Coco is met, Jay Idzes from Venezia would be their primary target as a replacement in the defensive line.
However, as exclusively disclosed by us last week, Sassuolo is also actively competing for Idzes` signature, adding complexity to the potential transfer.
