It remains to be seen whether Lyanco would immediately join Toro to help acclimatise and train regularly with the side before he can play next season or if he’ll remain on loan at Sao Paulo until July.
Sao Paulo are expected to want 20 per cent of any future sale to be included as part of the agreement.
Torino have a history of developing impressive talents and selling them on at a huge profit, such as Ciro Immobile, Alessio Cerci and Matteo Darmian.
However, the Granata are not open to the idea and this already caused issues when it was proposed to Juventus.
