Hart’s only appearance this season was in the Champions League play-off second leg against Steaua Bucharest.
He however waved and blew kisses to fans at the final whistle in what was likely to be his final game for the club after 10 seasons and 348 appearances.
A source told ESPN FC that Premier League rivals Sunderland had also been linked with a move for Hart, but he has opted to move to Torino who finished 12th in Serie A last season.
Meanwhile, Hart is not expected to be City’s final player to move before the transfer window closes on August 31, 2016 as Wilfried Bony and Samir Nasri may also face the exit doors.
