Rumors about Torino’s divestment, Ciccio Graziani speaks out

Torino in the hands of the Americans? After rumors spread by Il Sole 24 Ore, rumors of a possible sale of the Granata club by Urbano Cairo are back in full swing. If a few months ago there was talk of an interest of Red Bull, now on social circles the name of Bank of America, the financial intermediary that would be involved as an advisor to an alleged star-studded cordate.

Patron Cairo has repeatedly reiterated his willingness to sell the club, at the right offer, stressing at the moment the absence of concrete proposals. On the issue of has also expressed to toro.it a great former as Ciccio Graziani.

“It is a question of ownership: there is a lot of talk, rumors, but from what he says no one has ever really presented himself. However, there has to be a fair price, also because I think he is fed up with this situation, which affects the project. Until a fair offer arrives, nothing will change, although I am convinced he would gladly sell Toro.”

“The diatribe between fans and president affects the team and the goals. Cairo will never take 40-50 million players: it is not his way of managing, he has always said that the first objective is the budget. Protest also inevitably affects results: if there are 3,000 people in the stadium, the team suffers.”

“Seeing the stadium half-empty brings tears to my eyes: we have lost a priceless cultural heritage. I remain a Toro fan, for better or worse,” explained the former granata striker.

Graziani also took stock of Torino’s season: “Not very well. To be more attractive for us fans, Toro should fight with Lazio, Bologna, Atalanta for a place in Europe, be it Europa League or at least Conference. It needs to get closer to these teams: right now we are somewhere in between, behind Genoa, Parma, Sassuolo.”
