According to Sport Mediaset , they are edging closer to a full agreement with Fiorentina for central defender Comuzzo.

This would be a loan deal with option to buy at the end of the season for a total of around €20m.

As reported over the last few days, Torino are also leading the race for Switzerland international centre-back Comert, who is a free agent after his contract with Valencia was allowed to run down.

He is expected in Turin for a medical on Tuesday.

However, the deal for goalkeeper Perri has stalled due to the details over commission for his agent, so has not been given the all-clear to travel out for medical tests by Leeds United.

Monitor Torino's defensive depth for upcoming Serie A matches; if Comuzzo and Comert complete, expect improved defensive solidity, but goalkeeper uncertainty with Perri could persist.
