In early August 2026 Torino FC announced its interest in strengthening the midfield by targeting two players: 19‑year‑old academy graduate Wisdom Acquah and Napoli midfielder Michael Folorunsho. The club entered talks with Serie B side Catanzaro about acquiring Acquah on a temporary basis. Later the same day Torino confirmed that Acquah would join Catanzaro on a season‑long loan. The deal includes a clause guaranteeing his return to Torino after the loan and aims to give the young defensive midfielder regular playing time following an injury‑affected pre‑season. The loan was described as the most concrete offer among other interested clubs. On 6 August 2026 President Urbano Cairo outlined the broader summer transfer agenda. He confirmed forward Giovanni Simeone will stay after a personal appeal, and said defender Ciro Cacciamani is a priority to retain, with Niccolò Fortini mentioned as a possible replacement. Goalkeeper reinforcement arrived with the signing of Lucas Perri from Leeds, while paperwork for another Manchester City keeper is pending. Torino’s discussions with Napoli over midfielder Michael Folorunsho continue, with the club preferring a loan that includes an option or obligation to buy. The president also highlighted the club’s recent fourth straight Trofeo Memorial Mamma e Papà Cairo victory. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-06: Wisdom Acquah to join Catanzaro on loan from Torino Torino midfielder Wisdom Acquah, 19, is set for a season‑long loan to Serie B club Catanzaro, with Torino retaining his rights and aiming for regular minutes after a summer injury. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wisdom-acquah-to-join-catanzaro-on-loan-from-torino ### 2026-08-06: Torino President Urbano Cairo details summer transfers and player commitments Urbano Cairo says Giovanni Simeone stays, aims to keep Ciro Cacciamani, finalises Lucas Perri signing and eyes Michael Folorunsho loan as Torino prepares for the new season. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/torino-targets-midfielders-wisdom-acquah-and-michael-folorunsho --- Cite as: Torino loan of Wisdom Acquah.
