Torino began its summer preparations with Ignazio Abate in charge, posting a 13‑0 victory over an amateur side in Pinzolo. The match featured a four‑goal haul by Croatian forward Sandro Kulenović and notable contributions from newcomers Gaetano Oristanio (two goals) and Cesare Casadei (two goals).
Mid‑season updates included a mild adductor problem for young Turkish midfielder Emirhan Ilkhan, who missed the friendly but is expected to return after examinations. Defender Ardian Ismajli praised the intensive training schedule and the new tactical ideas being implemented.
