TURIN. Tommaso Pobega al Toro. Only the official status is missing to close a deal that started more than a week ago and that was unlocked this evening after Bakayoko’s arrival at Milan: it was the last piece that was missing to allow Pioli to free the 22-year-old from Trieste. The new granata midfielder is already in town where in the evening he will sign the new contract with the Urbano Cairo club (he has arrived on loan) and tomorrow he is expected from his first training session in Philadelphia, where he will meet Juric and his new teammates. At this point, the race against time begins for the Croatian coach to bring Pobega to the trip to Florence scheduled in two days. The former Rossoneri is the fourth reinforcement of the summer after the arrivals of Pjaca, Berisha and Warming (for whom, however, an accommodation is already being sought).
Attack and defense. The Turin transfer market is certainly not finished, even if at this point new faces will only be seen – barring surprises – after the stop for the national team, when the grenades will return to the pitch at the Grande Torino against Salernitana. Messias and Orsolini remain the first choices for the advanced department, but yesterday the thrust for the Brazilian did not bear fruit. But just a gray smoke. “After the last meeting there have been no substantial steps forward”, the truth of the owner of Crotone Vrenna. There remains a difference of around 2 million between supply and demand.
Behind, Izzo could start who – after Cagliari – has a new admirer, that Genoa that three years ago sold him to Toro. The idea is an exchange with Biraschi. The other novelty is David Zima, Czech defender class 2000 of Slavia Prague. Which confirms the interest of the grenade: “The Bull asked for information – the words of the coach Trpisovsky -, but it is not the only club that follows our talent”. The Becao (Udinese), Walukiewicz (Cagliari) and Goldaniga (Sassuolo) cards are still standing.
