Sweden Under-21 international Alieu Njie has attracted interest from three clubs ahead of a summer exit from Torino, with AS Monaco, AZ Alkmaar and Genoa CFC all identified as candidates for a player the Turin club are prepared to sell at around €10m.

Tuttomercatoweb reports that all three clubs have made known their interest in the 21-year-old winger, whose limited playing time this season — just two Serie A starts in 15 appearances — has accelerated the expectation of a departure.

Torino resisted loan interest in January, choosing to keep Njie despite approaches from Serie B clubs, but the club's position has shifted ahead of the summer.

Njie arrived at Torino from Swedish club Forssa BK in the summer of 2021 and has since worked his way through the club's development structure. He scored one goal and contributed one assist in the Italian top flight this season. He remains contracted until June 2029, which gives Torino full control of the negotiating timeline, but the fee expectation of €10m is considered realistic given his age and profile.

Monaco's interest carries the most ambition of the three — a move to Ligue 1 would represent a significant step up for Njie and one the Sweden international is likely to prioritise if the option is confirmed. AZ offer Eredivisie and European football, while Genoa's appeal is less obvious given their mid-table Serie A status.
