Torino: Cairo adamant on the market and on Malinovskyi

Torino President Urbano Cairo on the sidelines of the Mama and Papa Cairo Memorial spoke about the Granata club’s market: “The coach cared a lot about Tameze, a player of his in the Verona days and an important player for the locker room. The great thing is that Vlasic also cared a lot about Toro and the fact that he resisted other opportunities to return to Toro makes me happy.”

On the arrival of Bellanova: “He is a young man with great prospects, he has a crazy leg and incredible speed, he crosses well, he has important physical strength.”

On Ricci’s stop at Lazio: “He was never on the market. Lotito called me and I met him once but then we never saw each other again because I had no intention of selling him. I never said anything about it because it’s not like every day I have to respond to what I read.”

Denial about Malinovskyi: “It’s something that came up that way but it’s not like we thought about him. I don’t know how this came out but we never dealt with him.”

Sanabria and Schuurs: “Sanabria had an excellent turnaround last year, I expect him not to be fulfilled but to be willing to do more. He is a wonderful guy from a human point of view but we have a locker room of wonderful guys, even the coach has done a job to develop positive values. I did the math, since Juric came we have invested 80 million. Schuurs? My desire is to keep all the best players. It’s something I also said in 2019 and it didn’t bring luck, because there was then the problem of Nkoulou. The fact that the players have been with the coach for a year or two is an important thing.”
