Torino FC ramps up pre‑season with friendlies, loans and new signings
Torino FC concluded its pre‑season preparations with a 1‑0 loss to Serie C side Cittadella in the final friendly at Pinzolo, a match that highlighted tactical adjustments and fatigue after intensive training. The club’s staff, led by coach Ignazio Abate, used the game to assess squad depth ahead of the upcoming Serie A campaign.
In the transfer market, Torino revived interest in Croatian midfielder Kristijan Jakic, with negotiations indicating a valuation of around €5 million. The club also confirmed the imminent arrival of goalkeeper Lucas Perri from Leeds United on loan and Swiss defender Eray Cömert, both expected to join in the coming days. Further targets include a possible loan for young defender Alessandro Dellavalle to Padova and ongoing talks for Fiorentina centre‑back Pietro Comuzzo.
Additional updates include details on how fans can watch the Torino‑Cittadella friendly live via DAZN, Sky, NOW and Torino TV, and a separate legal incident involving a Torino‑linked player who breached house‑arrest restrictions and was remanded to custody.
