Chelsea are reportedly planning to bring back Ola Aina once his loan spell at Torino expires.
Toro have a €10m option to buy Aina at the end of the season, but the full-back signed a new contract with Chelsea before he made the move.
That suggests the Blues have a counter-option, and the Evening Standard writes they are ‘reluctant’ to part with their youth graduate, especially if their transfer ban stands.

The 22-year-old has played 29 times for the Granata this season, helping them into Serie A’s top six with just four games remaining.
The newspaper adds Chelsea will send Davide Zappacosta back to Italy this summer, while there are ‘doubts’ over the future of fellow defenders Emerson Palmieri and Marcos Alonso.
Aina – who has also been linked with Fiorentina – would effectively replace any of the three.
