As reported by La Stampa, Torino FC is strategically focusing on generating significant capital gains through player sales, a key approach to maintain financial stability and bolster the squad with new talent. This strategy follows the successful transfer of Samuele Ricci to AC Milan for a reported €25 million, setting a precedent for future profitable departures.
The club anticipates accumulating nearly €60 million in capital gains by 2024. This substantial income is projected to yield a positive balance of €10 million, marking a crucial turnaround after six consecutive years of financial losses. Such a robust financial standing, unprecedented since 2017, positions Torino to invest in new acquisitions while keeping its books in order.
While Torino is actively pursuing new players, such as Ngonge from Napoli, the primary focus remains on optimizing player exits to secure additional vital capital. Among the high-profile players being considered for transfer is Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, with Leeds United reportedly showing interest. Lecce`s Falcone is being considered as a potential replacement should Milinkovic-Savic depart.
Another significant case involves Coco. Al Duhail previously made a €16 million offer for the player, but it failed to convince him. Now, Spartak Moscow, a club that came close to signing Ilic last winter, has entered the bidding with a €10 million offer. However, Torino is holding firm, demanding at least €15 million for Coco, aiming to maximize the financial return from his sale.
