Torino is in Amsterdam to make a deal with Ajax about the transfer of Perr Schuurs, Tuttosport reports. Transfer market expert Gianluca di Marzio already reported on Tuesday about the concrete interest of il Toro in the 22-year-old defender, who is on the front page of the Italian sports newspaper on Friday.

That Torino is seriously interested in Schuurs is confirmed by his agent Wessel Weezenberg. “Torino is an important candidate, but there are many more clubs concrete for Perr,” he said The Telegraph. Schuurs can reportedly count on more interest from Serie A, because Fiorentina and Bologna are also keen on the arrival of the center defender.

Schuurs, who still has a contract in Amsterdam until mid-2025, threatens to end up on the bench behind Jurriën Timber, just like last season, and has absolutely no appetite for it. In principle, Ajax does not want to cooperate with Schuurs’ departure, but according to the The Telegraph However, Ajax also understands his point of view. “Technical manager Gerry Hamstra and his right-hand man Klaas-Jan Huntelaar have indicated to the player and his agent Weezenberg that they only want to sell if an amount comes on the table, for which a direct replacement can be brought back. It would be a transfer fee of 12 million euros,” according to the newspaper.

Schuurs has been playing for Ajax since the summer of 2018. The team from Amsterdam paid two million euros to Fortuna Sittard for the defender in January 2018. Since then, he has played 90 official matches for Ajax, scoring 3 times and providing 4 assists. Schuurs has won many prizes at Ajax over the years. He became national champion three times and he also won two TOTO KNVB Cups and a Johan Cruijff Scale
