Torino have ruled themselves out of the running to sign Sevilla striker Ciro Immobile this summer, leaving just West Ham and AC Milan interested in his services.
According to Football Italia, Torino sporting director Gianluca Petrachi says Ciro Immobile “has other ambitions” and will leave the club this summer after spending the second half of the season on loan, scoring five goals in 13 appearances.
Ciro Immobile wanted to stay a month and a half ago, something has changed now, he’s no longer convinced, he has other ambitions. We’re not interested in investing in those who aren’t convinced.
It was reported yesterday that the Hammers along with AC Milan were interested in the 26-year-old who scored just two goals in eight La Liga appearances last season.
Immobile is currently representing Italy at Euro 2016 and came on during their 2-0 victory over Belgium. He has 14 international caps to his name but has scored just once for his country.
Whether Immobile would be a success at West Ham remains up in the air as the club are undoubtedly looking for a striker with a proven goal-scoring track record and the Italian isn’t that. It’s said that Sevilla are looking for £10m to part ways with Immobile – whether he’s worth it is another question.
