Chelsea are having doubts about letting youngster Ola Aina move permanently to Serie A side Torino, with their transfer ban still a possibility.
The 22-year old full back signed for Torino last summer, in a loan move that included an option to buy in the future.
The price on Aina comes to £8.7 million, and having impressed Walter Mazzarri in his 29 appearances for the Serie A outfit, the Italian gaffer is keen on keeping him at the club.
However, according to Standard Sport, Chelsea are wanting to think about their options for squad members in the coming seasons with their transfer ban still up in the air.
Should the ban remain in place this summer, the club will not be able to sign any players and will need to hold on to all the young talents they have currently loaned out.
Aina has two assists and one goal registered during his time in Turin and has helped to side to a strong sixth position in the league.
Blues boss Maurizio Sarri will be keeping a watchful eye over the Nigerian international, among various other youngsters spending time out on loan to other clubs, in order to decide who is worthy of a place in the starting XI next season, unless their transfer ban is uplifted or at least delayed.
