Spartak revives negotiations with Torino concerning Koko's transition
In the world of football, negotiations are underway regarding the potential transfer of Guinean defender Saúl Coco from Torino to Spartak Moscow. The Russian club is showing a strong interest in acquiring the central defender.
According to reports, Torino is considering parting ways with Saúl Coco as they aim to strengthen their defensive line. This move is not surprising, as Spartak Moscow is specifically targeting Coco to bolster their defence and is prepared to make a significant financial effort.
The asking price set by Torino is around 15 million euros, while independent market estimates value Coco at approximately 10 million euros. However, the deal has not yet been finalised, and it is reportedly close to completion as of early August 2025.
The player's contract with Torino runs until mid-2028, giving Torino leverage in the negotiations. Meanwhile, Torino is already planning to replace Coco with another central defender, Indonesia’s Jay Idzes, indicating that they expect the transfer to conclude soon.
Italian journalist Alberto Giulini has confirmed the resumption of transfer negotiations between Moscow's Spartak and Torino for defender Saúl Coco. This confirmation comes after earlier reports by the Russian portal Metaratings and other sources.
Last season, Saúl Coco played in 34 matches across all tournaments for Torino, scoring two goals and receiving 11 yellow cards. As the negotiations progress, it remains to be seen whether the transfer will go through and what impact it will have on both clubs.
Meanwhile, other news in the football world includes Rodrigo agreeing terms with Liverpool, according to ESPN. Son Heung-min has announced his departure from Tottenham after 10 years at the club, and Bruno Fernandes is back in Al-Nassr's sights. However, these developments do not seem to be directly related to the ongoing negotiations between Torino and Spartak Moscow.
Bookmakers across European leagues, including Serie A, have started placing bets on the successful transfer of Guinean defender Saúl Coco from Torino to Spartak Moscow. The ongoing negotiations have piqued the interest of sports enthusiasts, as Coco's potential move to Russia could significantly impact both clubs' defensive strategies.
