The Maroons have held preliminary talks with Chelsea over the outright purchase of the wingback but the Premier League side has insisted that his price tag has to be met.
Turin-based sports daily Tuttosport reported on Wednesday that Chelsea replied Torino that they already had several offers for the defender, even at over €8m million.
Prior to agreeing terms with Torino, Aina had been heavily courted by Championship teams in England plus La Liga clubs.
