Torino have no intention of signing a free agent to replace Duvan Zapata. Over the past few days there has been talk of a possible arrival of Mario Balotelli in the Granata – probably a suggestion rather than something really concrete – but also of Eric Choupo-Moting or Isaac Success, released after his experience at Udinese. For now what is filtering through the Granata club is that there will be no reinforcements to take the place of Duvan, who injured his cruciate ligament, as well as two menisci. In short, the feeling is that Adams and Sanabria could be the starters, with Vlasic capable of acting in the attacking midfield and Karamoh plus Njie possibly called into action.
However, there are two scenarios that could lead to a change of mind. The first is obviously an injury to another attackerwhich would then force the club to sift through the market for players without a team.
Then there is the results component. If it is true that Paolo Vanoli is doing very well, on the other hand we will have to understand how he will make up his mind without a center forward like Duvan. If there are any obvious problems, someone more may arrive to lend a hand. If the trend – more than discreet – continues even without the Colombian, we will wait for the January transfer window to strengthen the squad.
