The loan agreement stipulated an automatic buyout upon his first appearance in February, after the winter transfer window closed. 

Tuttosport says Torino will pay €6m plus bonuses to Napoli. "El Cholito" will be tied to the Granata by a contract until June 30, 2028, with an option for the following season. 

The striker returned to action after a three-week layoff due to a bruised left leg sustained on January 13 in the Coppa Italia.
