Torino nearing agreement with Ujkani as Sirigu backup

Torino seem to have found the backup goalkeeper they have been looking for, as the Granata are close to sign Kosovan shot-stopper Samir Ujkani. After holding negotiations with Cittadella for Alberto Paleari without being able to close the gap between the Serie B side's demands - around €3 million - and the offer - close to €2 million - sporting director Bava decided to shift the focus on Ujkani. The former Palermo and, most recently, Caykur Rizespor player is set to become Salvatore Sirigu's backup, as the deal with Torino is down to final details.
