Torino FC prepares for new season with transfer targets and supporter shifts
Torino FC is undergoing organizational and tactical shifts ahead of the new season under manager Ignazio Abate. In the transfer market, director Gianluca Petrachi is reportedly targeting Botafogo's Vitinho as a potential replacement for Marcus Holmgren Pedersen on the right flank. Vitinho, known for his speed and dribbling, is valued at approximately 10 million euros and has drawn interest from Bundesliga clubs, including Eintracht Frankfurt.
On the supporter side, the 'Torino Hooligans' group is moving from the Curva Primavera to the Curva Maratona, the central section of the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. This move marks a symbolic consolidation for the group following years of fragmentation and legal issues.
Reflecting on the club's long-term identity, comparisons have been drawn between the current squad's rebuilding phase and the era of Giampiero Ventura in 2011, emphasizing the ongoing need to restore a sense of belonging and pride within the club's culture.
