Legia Warszawa defender Steve Kapuadi is being linked with a move to Serie A side Torino, with the probability of a transfer currently rated at 42% according to data from Transfermarkt.
The 27-year-old centre-back, valued at €3.00m, is attracting interest from the Italian club as they assess defensive options ahead of the next window. While no agreement has been reached and talks have not been confirmed, Torino are understood to be monitoring Kapuadi’s situation closely as a relatively low-cost left-footed option for their back line.
Kapuadi’s contract details at Legia are not publicly listed, leaving open the possibility that the Congolese-French defender could move on favourable terms or potentially approach free-agent status if no extension is in place. That uncertainty is believed to be fuelling speculation over his future, with Legia facing a decision on whether to cash in or risk losing a player whose value has risen sharply in recent seasons.
The Le Mans-born defender has seen his market value climb from six-figure sums during his AS Trencin days to the current €3.00m mark at Legia, where strong performances in Poland’s Ekstraklasa have put him on the radar of clubs in stronger leagues. Standing at 1.96m and operating primarily as a centre-back, his profile fits Torino’s preference for physically imposing defenders capable of coping with Serie A’s tactical and aerial demands.
Kapuadi’s career path has taken him from youth football at Le Mans and Angers in France to spells in Belgium with Zulte Waregem’s youth and Jong KAA Gent, then on to Inter Bratislava and AS Trencin in Slovakia before moving to Wisla Plock and subsequently Legia Warszawa. That varied experience across several European leagues may appeal to Torino as they look for a defender accustomed to adapting to new environments.
If the move does materialise, a switch from the Ekstraklasa to Serie A could mark a defining step in Kapuadi’s career, offering a stage to enhance both his reputation and his international prospects.
