Sassuolo targets Aquilani after Torino's interest in the coach

Summary

With Fabio Grosso set to leave Sassuolo for Fiorentina, the club is now looking for a replacement. Aquilani, who previously played at Sassuolo on loan in 2017, is seen as a top candidate ahead of Ignazio Abate, currently managing Juve Stabia.
