Torino would like Joe Hart to remain with the Serie A club next season - but head coach Sinisa Mihajlovic admits the Italians cannot afford to sign the England goalkeeper permanently.

Hart, 29, is on loan with Torino from Manchester City after being replaced by Claudio Bravo at the Etihad Stadium last August.

He has enjoyed a largely decent season at the Stadio Olimpico yet Torino say they could not meet the £15 million valuation City would reportedly demand in the summer.

Hart wants to stay at Torino but we are all aware, both him and the club, that we can't buy him.

At the most we could take him on loan for another year but that depends on both Manchester City and him.

We will need to know if Hart is going to be here next year because if he's not then we'll need to change the way we play.
