Attributed to original sourceTorino, who have something of a history with English goalkeepers thanks to Joe Hart, are reportedly pushing to sign Aaron Ramsdale from Southampton.
The Granata are seeking a shot-stopper after deciding Franco Israel was not suited to Serie A football, one year on from his Sporting CP transfer.
Although they had also targeted Paraguay international goalkeeper Orlando Gill , his performances at the 2026 World Cup pushed the price up too much.

(Photo by Eddie Keogh/Getty Images) Now Sport Mediaset claim Torino have identified Ramsdale as the next big name on their wish list , and feel a deal can be done following Southampton’s relegation.
He spent last season on loan at Newcastle United, and before that played for Arsenal, Sheffield United, Bournemouth and Wimbledon.
The 28-year-old earned five senior caps for England, and he would be the second English goalkeeper at Torino after Joe Hart in 2016-17.
Sky Sport Italia and Sport Mediaset are confident that Ramsdale can be in Serie A this season for the Granata, on loan with an option to buy, as his contract with the Saints runs to June 2028.

What happened
According to reports, Serie A side Torino have identified Aaron Ramsdale as their primary goalkeeper target. The English keeper is currently at Southampton following his loan and subsequent permanent move from Arsenal. Torino are said to be at the top of the list of potential suitors for Ramsdale, who would bring Premier League experience to the Italian club.
Chance analysis
Ramsdale moving to Torino would represent a step away from the English top flight and into a mid-table Serie A side. As a goalkeeper with significant Premier League pedigree (Arsenal, Sheffield United, Bournemouth), he would likely be an upgrade for Torino's goal. This is a speculative report with no confirmation of negotiations or fee, so prediction systems should treat it as low-confidence background until further developments.
Potential transfer of a backup English goalkeeper from Southampton to Torino; minimal impact on upcoming matches while still speculative.
If confirmed, Ramsdale's departure would marginally weaken Southampton's goalkeeping depth but has limited near-term match prediction impact as the move is far from completion.
