According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Torino met with Giovanni Simeone and his agent. Simeone is highly motivated and aims to score double-digit goals again.


News from Argentina has already conveyed Torino's intentions clearly. The message comes from Buenos Aires, where Simeone is currently finishing his vacation. Torino FC's position was reconfirmed on Thursday during a meeting in Milan. The meeting was attended by Torino president Urbano Cairo, sporting director Gianluca Petrachi, and the Argentine striker's agent. Both sides are committed to continuing their cooperation, respecting his contract valid until June 30, 2028, and the player's own desires. Simeone wants to remain at Torino, and the club is determined to keep him.

The meeting in Milan was primarily about strengthening relationships, clarifying the situation, and presenting the new tactical approach to the player's representatives.

Simeone's professionalism has been exemplary throughout his first season at Torino. Meanwhile, the club has appointed Ignazio Abate as the new coach, taking over from July 1st. Whether Simeone and Torino will continue together has never been in doubt. Firstly, because the club has always been clear about its intentions, positioning Simeone at the core of the new project. Simeone feels comfortable at Torino and reconfirmed this two days ago. For him, the city holds special meaning, as his first child was born there.

In his first Serie A season wearing the red jersey, Simeone achieved double-digit goals for the first time. He finished with 11 goals—his highest tally since his time at Verona four years ago. Moreover, Simeone hopes to improve further and aims to replicate his goalscoring success this season.

In Torino, Simeone has fully integrated into the team's system and is ready to embrace his second season with full commitment and passion. The club's expectations for him are clear: to remain a reliable core player and an important leader in the locker room, helping the many young players who will join the squad in the coming months, as Torino's transfer strategy focuses on bringing in young talent. Torino will have an experienced, efficient, and capable striker as well as a natural leader in the dressing room.

For new coach Ignazio Abate, this will be an excellent foundation as he begins his tenure at Torino. Having a fully committed and motivated Simeone is a guarantee that allows the team to face the new season in the best possible way.
