Torino FC officially commenced its pre-season training a few days ago with a camp in Prato allo Stelvio. During this period, new head coach Marco Baroni will extensively evaluate several promising young talents from the Primavera squad, aiming to potentially integrate them into the first team. This strategic focus on youth has been highlighted by the Corriere Torino, which prominently featured the headline: “The Toro of young talents knocks on Baroni`s door.”
From the outset, the new Granata coach has made his expectations clear. In the initial training sessions, Baroni delivered a direct message to his players: “Let`s elevate our quality; this is Torino.” This statement served as an immediate call for heightened precision, particularly in passing drills, urging the squad to meet the high standards of the club. Also present at the training camp is goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, despite ongoing transfer rumors linking him to Antonio Conte`s Napoli as a potential option between the posts, even with Alex Meret`s recent contract extension there.
