Gianluca Petrachi, Torino's sporting director, is working to strengthen the team's flanks, an action being taken independently of the club's search for a new coach. In connection with this, representatives from the club traveled to Novi Sad for a meeting with Vojvodina's management. The main target is Lazar Nikolić, a Serbian right-back born in 1999 who is able to play on both sides. Last season, he was a regular starter and contributed 3 goals and 3 assists. The first meeting was preliminary, with the parties arranging to meet again in early July after the Europa League qualifiers. Nikolić, who joined Vojvodina in July 2024, has a contract with the club valid until June 30, 2028, and his current market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €1.50m.
