England goalkeeper Joe Hart is due to arrive at Torino despite interest from Sunderland because he wanted to play abroad, according to reports.
Hart is due at Torino's training ground at 2pm on Tuesday ahead of a season-long loan move.
Sunderland - who have lost injured first-choice keeper Vito Mannone for three months - were prepared to pay a large slice of his wages but Manchester City have agreed to Hart's preferred option.
Hart, 29, has lost his place as Manchester City's first choice 'keeper at the start of the season with new boss Pep Guardiola preferring Willy Caballero.
The arrival of Claudio Bravo from Barcelona last week makes the England man third choice.
Hart's agent Jonathan Barnett was quoted on Monday by www.tuttosport.com as saying: "Yes, Joe Hart will play with Torino. It's done. The player said yes to the club and also Manchester City have given the green light. It is all true. Tomorrow [Tuesday] Hart will have a medical in Turin."
Torino, who finished 12th in Serie A last season, have started the new campaign by taking three points from their first two games.
