Diego Simeone's son might change clubs
Torino faces serious squad issues following Duván Zapata's injury, which has sidelined the striker for an extended period. In response, the "Bulls" have approached Napoli regarding the transfer of forward Giovanni Simeone.
Details: According to Tuttosport, Torino's sporting director, Davide Vagnati, has reached out to representatives of Napoli and Simeone to discuss the terms of a potential deal. Napoli has set the price for the 29-year-old striker at €15 million.
Reports suggest that Napoli is unwilling to lower their valuation, but is open to a loan deal with an obligation to buy. However, the final decision on the transfer will rest with Antonio Conte, whose input will be pivotal.
Reminder: Zapata's absence has impacted the team's performance significantly—Torino has lost four of their five Serie A matches since his injury. The club now aims to address this issue during the winter transfer window by securing a reliable replacement.
