Exclusive: Monza open preliminary talks for Torino midfielder Ilkhan

Serie B side Monza are interested in Torino midfielder Emirhan Ilkhan and have already opened talks ahead of the January 2026 transfer window.

Monza are interested in signing Torino midfielder Ilkhan, and club directors have already opened preliminary negotiations for the 21-year-old.

Monza aim for Serie A promotion this season and are already considering some possible reinforcements in the winter transfer window to boost Paolo Bianco’s options.

Sources with direct knowledge of the matter exclusively tell me that Ilkhan is a concrete target for the Brianzoli and that preliminary negotiations have already begun.

Ilkhan can play in multiple roles, even attacking midfielder, as his versatility is one of the reasons why Monza are interested in his services, but the Brianzoli are aware that there are other clubs interested.

Ilkhan’s Torino contract expires in June 2026, and there’s an option to extend for a further campaign, but the player’s desire to get more playing time could ultimately make the difference.
