Napoli are set to sign Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, paying more than his release clause to spread the payment in multiple instalments, while Torino have secured a deal to sign Cyril Ngonge and will soon welcome Franco Israel.

Sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that the defending Serie A champions will pay more than the goalkeeper’s €19m clause to be able to spread his transfer fee in multiple instalments.

At the same time, the Partenopei will send their striker, Ngonge, to Torino on a one-season loan deal.

The Granata will pay €1m for Ngonge’s loan move, but the agreement includes an option to buy for €18m.

Ngonge already played under Marco Baroni at Hellas Verona.

Torino are also close to signing ex-Juventus goalkeeper Israel from Sporting CP.

Football Italia exclusively reported Napoli’s interest in the Uruguay international earlier this week.
