Torino Intensify Push For Jerry Mbakogu

Serie A side Torino have stepped up their pursuit of much - coveted Carpi striker Jerry Mbakogu.

The stumbling block is that The Bulls have failed to meet Carpi’s 8 million euros valuation of the player, according to Tuttosport.

Torino are willing to pay 3 million euros and have offered another player as makeweight in the deal, but Carpi are refusing to yield to their demands.

Jerry Mbakogu is not short of suitors, with the likes of Lokomotiv Moscow, Kuban and Napoli all credited with an interest for his services.

The 22 - year - old, who has committed his international future to Nigeria, is under contract with Carpi until June 30, 2019.
