Cyril Ngonge, who was permitted to depart Torino this winter following an unsuccessful loan spell, initially seemed to be moving to Mallorca. Before his future appeared to be in Spain, other Italian clubs such as Fiorentina, Lazio, and Atalanta were also mentioned as possible destinations. While Mallorca was a potential club, transfer watcher Matteo Moretto reported that Espanyol now intends to finalize his signing and that negotiations are at a very advanced stage.
