The agent of West Ham United forward Nikola Vlasic has said that the Croatian is keen to stay at Serie A side Torino after his loan deal expires.
The Croatian international, who helped his country finish third at the 2022 World Cup, has spent the campaign on loan in Italy with Torino and has made 25 appearances for the Italian outfit in all competitions, scoring four goals.
Vlasic joined West Ham from Torino at the start of last season, but struggled for regular game time with the Irons during the 2021/22 campaign, starting just 16 of his 31 appearances last term.

As part of Vlasic’s loan agreement with Torino, there is the option to make the forward’s move to Serie A permanent at the end of it. According to Vlasic’s agent, Tonci Martic, the 25-year-old is keen on staying with Torino after his loan deal expires.
“Will Torino buy [Nikola] Vlasic from West Ham? I don’t know yet,” Martic told RB News.
“They still have time to resolve this issue. I can only say that Nikola is happy at Torino, and wants to stay at this club.”
Vlasic’s one and only goal in a West Ham shirt came at the end of December 2021 during a 4-1 victory away at Watford in the Premier League.
