The Serie A champion will have an option to buy the 28-year-old at the end of his loan spell for a reported €21.5 million ($38.4 million).

Milinkovic-Savic reportedly had a €20 million ($35.8 million) release clause in his contract, but Napoli opted for a loan in order to spread out the payment over several instalments.

The Serbia international has played 144 Serie A matches during his time with Torino, keeping 44 clean sheets in that time and conceding 154 goals.

He will compete with Alex Meret for a starting position in Antonio Conte's first team.

Milinkovic-Savic joins the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Noa Lang and Sam Beukema as summer signings as Antonio Conte looks to win back-to-back league titles in Serie A.

The news of his arrival followed a 2-1 win for Napoli over Serie B side Catanzaro, where Lorenzo Lucca netted the winner with his first goal for the club. Giacomo Raspadori had given Napoli the lead shortly before.
