After the formalizations of Eljif Elmas and Cesare Casadei, the Torino, who will also welcome Cristiano Biraghi, has already strengthened well during this winter transfer window, while retaining certain executives like Samuele Ricci. Nevertheless, the Granata failed on two files: locking the arrival of Cher Ndour (who finally chose Fiorentina) and find the attacker capable of compensating for the absence of Duván Zapata (victim of a break in the cross ligaments). Negotiations with Everton for Beto, offensive priority of the Turin club, now seem to be arrested. Discussions with Leipzig for André Silva did not succeed. Likewise with Napoli for Giovanni Simeone, with Fiorentina for Jonathan Ikoné and Christian Kouamé.
However, coach Paolo Vanoli had been very clear in December: “I was clear, you have to replace Zapata. I asked that one player, I think it's enough. Nothing else. I think I was clear, also because Zapata will not be back this season». While the Italian market closes its doors this Monday evening, the Torino must quickly find an emergency solution. And according to our information, Piedmontese leaders will relaunch negotiations with Benfica for Arthur Cabral, former player of Basel and Fiorentina. According to our indiscretions, Turninois are preparing to offer a loan with a purchase option around 12 million euros. The LisBotian club, which will welcome Andrea Belotti in reinforcement, is open to a sale.
