Torino president Urbano Cairo admits they face a battle to keep hold of Matteo Darmian.
The fullback is being linked with Real Madrid and Chelsea.
"The transfer market is closed and now we have four months to focus only on our football," Cairo told Radio Kiss Kiss.
"I'd like to keep Darmian, but there are many clubs who want him and are watching his performances closely.
"He is tied to us by a contract until June 2017, but we'll see what happens."
