During the chat with today’s edition of the Sports Gazettethe president of Turin Urban Cairo revealed a behind the scenes story about Duvan Zapata: “I was asked for Zapata, but he wanted to stay at Torino, he wanted to stay with enthusiasm, so I refused the offer very willingly. He stayed, and now he is the captain. A year ago I refused two important offers for Ricci and Sanabria. In the last market we invested 30 million and we only received 10 from the sale of Singo.
The Granata number one then focused on the incoming market just over a week after the end of the summer trading session, underlining that some new players will arrive in any case: “We will make at least three purchases – he continued – we will certainly take two central defenders and Bellanova’s replacement. The players who have arrived so far are valid, they are proving it.
A footballer cannot be evaluated only by price, a club must also be able to identify quality players and then develop them, as many clubs do in all leagues. We have signed Coco, Adams and Borna Sosa, others will arrive. The goal is to create a strong and competitive team: I repeat, a player’s ability cannot be measured only by price”.
