Italian club Torino is interested in signing Partizan's Nikola Simić to increase competition at the center-back position. Torino has submitted a €4 million offer, and Partizan has around fifteen days to respond. The two clubs have a recent history of business, with Demba Seck having been loaned to Partizan from the Italian side last summer. Torino's interest in Simić was reportedly confirmed during the past autumn, when their scouts watched him play live on several occasions after he became an almost irreplaceable starter. After the autumn season concluded, Torino is said to have contacted Partizan to begin negotiations over a transfer fee.
