Torino have opened talks with Manolo Gabbiadini over a deal to return to Italy this summer.
Football Italia, who cite Tuttosport claim that the Serie A side are keen to bring in the forward after he fell down the pecking order at Southampton.
Gabbiadini’s future appears to be away from St Mary’s, despite scoring what appears to be the goal that will keep the Saints in the top flight against Swansea.
The striker joined the club from Napoli in January 2017 and became an instant hit with the club’s supporters following an impressive start in the Premier League.
The 26-year-old has been unable to re-create that form this season, scoring just five goals in the Premier League.
Gabbiadini has been restricted to just 11 starts domestically with Mark Hughes preferring to use either Charlie Austin or Shane Long since taking over at the club.
Southampton will be hoping to recoup most of the £15 million they spent on the striker as they prepare for a busy transfer window.
