The Rossoneri overspent between 2016-18 which got them in hot water with UEFA.

Torino's season will start on July 25 and manager Walter Mazzarri is unlikely to be without Nigeria international Ola Aina for their first game in Europe in the 2019-2020 campaign.
The Chelsea Academy product is on international duty with Nigeria at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations and will be given at least two weeks off to recover after the tournament in Egypt.
Aina has 84 first team games under his belt for his clubs but has not yet debuted in European club competitions.
The 22-year-old fullback won the UEFA Youth League, which is contested by youth teams, twice with Chelsea .
