The Granata executive told Sky: “I will give my all so that the club gets everything it deserves. However, we will also have to see what happens with Schuurs. With the 3-5-2 formation, we need suitable players. We have 30 on the payroll, three of whom are not on the roster, so we have to let some players go if we want to bring in new ones.“

”A center back, a midfielder, a winger.” Before the match against Verona, Torino’s new technical director Gianluca Petrachi shared his thoughts with Sky on the club’s objectives in the January transfer window. “The directive is to change a few things, that’s clear,” said the Granata executive. “With 3-5-2 as our base formation, we need suitable players. We have 30 players on the payroll, three of whom are off the list, so we have to let some players go if we want to bring others in. The squad is very large, and we need to work on some transfers, but we will also do other things. We are also working on some new faces.“

”A center back, a midfielder, and a winger are our priorities,“ Petrachi emphasized. ”However, we will also have to see what happens with Schuurs. We are trying to speed things up to see if he can join us. There are some evaluations underway. We’ll need patience because it’s not easy to make moves in the January transfer window. Those who give you players may do so because they don’t play much or are unhappy, so you have to evaluate. I don’t sleep day and night to work.”

long term—  Petrachi also emphasized the need for changes in the squad in the long term. “We need to make a few changes, replace some players, bring in some motivated ones. We have a championship ahead of us, which is clearly difficult and competitive. First of all, we have to achieve our goals and start, possibly as early as January, to bring something new to meet the ambitions of our fans. I will give my all so that Torino gets everything it deserves.”
