Torino are in talks with RB Salzburg to sell both Celtic target Gvidas Gineitis and Alieu Njie, who is also of interest to Crystal Palace, while Rafa Obrador returns to Serie A for Sassuolo.
The Granata are fielding several proposals for their players from around Europe this summer and are open to sell for the right price.

Among their most popular starlets is midfielder Gineitis, who at age 22 already has a remarkable 32 senior caps for Lithuania under his belt.
Celtic had been pushing for a while, but now Sky Sport Italia note that RB Salzburg are stepping up the pressure.
The asking price for Gineitis remains a minimum of €8m, a big profit considering he joined their youth academy from Italian team SPAL in January 2022.

There is another reason why RB Salzburg might be favourites ahead of Celtic, and that is they are ready to do a double deal for his Torino teammate Njie.
The 21-year-old attacking winger had also been approached by Crystal Palace this summer, with interest too from RSC Anderlecht.
Njie has been in the Torino academy since 2021, suffered a serious injury last year, and now has 31 Serie A appearances for the club.
Defender Obrador spent the last six months at Toro on loan from Benfica, but it was not made permanent.
He is now set for a return to Serie A with Sassuolo, claims Fabrizio Romano, on loan with option to buy for €7m.
