Torino eye Napoli midfielder Michael Folorunsho in Serie A transfer move

Italy and Nigeria midfielder Michael Folorunsho has been linked with a move from Napoli to Torino, with the two Serie A clubs connected by the proposed transfer on 19 August 2026.

Folorunsho, 28, plays as a central midfielder and is currently contracted to Napoli, where his deal is due to expire on 30 June 2029. His listed market value is €5m, providing an indication of the valuation attached to a player whose contract still has almost three years to run.

The reported interest would see Folorunsho remain in Italy’s top flight, moving between clubs from the same league rather than leaving Serie A. Torino are the club named in connection with the move, while Napoli remain his current employers.

The transfer link comes with Folorunsho’s future still tied to Napoli through a long-term agreement. The available details do not establish whether the clubs have opened negotiations, whether an offer has been made or whether a transfer fee has been discussed.

Folorunsho holds Italian and Nigerian nationality and has been listed in a central-midfield role. Any progress in the rumour would therefore need to involve Napoli and Torino reaching an agreement before the player could change clubs.

For now, Folorunsho remains a Napoli player under contract until June 2029.
