President Urbano Cairo is enjoying himself in Sardinia, technical director Davide Vagnati is speeding up the reinforcement operation, coach Paolo Vanoli is preparing for his debut in the championship: this is how we can summarize the period of the three architects of the new Toro. Because while the number one of the club on Via Viotti continues to post images on social media from the yacht immersed in the beauty of Tavolara, preparations for the new season are in full swing under the Mole. And today will be a very special eve for Vanoli, who is awaiting his and the team’s first in Serie A: the former Venezia player will be making his debut in the top division. It will immediately be a fiery debut, at San Siro and against Milan, so at Filadelfia he is trying to draw up the best possible eleven. The feeling is that it will be the same one proposed against Cosenza in the Italian Cup, with only one doubt still regarding the attack: Adams and Sanabria are fighting for the starting shirt alongside captain Zapata. For the rest, there are no big changes planned, so we’ll be moving towards the set-up that the coach has been working on all summer, with Coco in the middle of the defense between Vojvoda and Masina, with the Bellanova-Lazaro pair on the flanks and with Linetty as a playmaker between Ricci and Ilic.
And Vagnati? It was said that he is accelerating on the market, in fact today will be Borna Sosa’s day. The Croatian is the chosen one to fill the void on the left flank, the former Ajax player is expected to undergo medical tests already during the morning. And then a real race against time will begin in view of the trip to San Siro, with the club from via Viotti that will do everything to try to resolve the bureaucratic procedures to have him available already for the match against Milan. The player will arrive on loan with an option to buy set at around seven million euros, in the past the 1998-born player had also been sought by Inter. Toro has veered decisively towards the Croatian after having come so close to Gosens, who however has never shown all this conviction towards the Granata proposal. After Sosa, Vagnati will dedicate himself to finding reinforcements for the back line, and, sooner or later, he will also have to place the many surplus players: from Radonjic to Seck and Pellegri, the work for the Torino technical director is still a lot with two weeks to go until the negotiations begin.
