Previously inquired about by such clubs as AC Milan, Napoli, and Atalanta, 30-year old Brazilian attacking midfielder and second striker Junior Messias is getting closer and closer to join Torino. Granata management, in advanced talks with Crotone upon the 1991-born playmaker, who made it into Serie A just last season, might even seal the deal across the next 48 hours, over a 8+2 million euros transfer fee, and get boss Ivan Juric the creative player he asked for.

Besides, Messias had been approached by Fiorentina, Genoa, and ambitious second-tier side Monza, but seems to be happy with heading back to Turin, whose nearbies he used to play for amateur and minor-league sides in, only a few years ago.
