Torino patron Urbano Cairo has publicly acknowledged that Alessio Cacciamani, the granata's 2007-born midfielder, has attracted serious attention from major Italian clubs, stopping short of any commitment to keeping him beyond the current window.
The admission matters because it signals a shift in the club's posture. Torino are not dismissing the interest — they are managing it. For a squad that finished 12th in Serie A 2025-26 with 45 points from 38 matches, losing a homegrown talent of Cacciamani's profile would not simply be a sporting loss; it would accelerate a broader dismantling of the squad that Leonardo Colucci's side is already navigating, with Gvidas Gineitis and Emmanuel Njie also attracting external bids.
Cacciamani's season numbers give context to why the interest exists. Across 39 appearances, the midfielder contributed two goals and two assists, posting an average match rating of 6.18. Those are modest headline figures, but the volume of appearances for a player born in 2007 is the more telling detail: Colucci trusted him consistently, and consistent trust at Serie A level at that age is a credential in itself. His AI overall score of 58 out of 100, with a projected ceiling of 65, suggests a player still well within his developmental arc — the kind of profile that buying clubs covet precisely because the upside is unpriced.
Cairo's phrasing — "I'd like to hold on to him, but..." — is the language of a president who knows the economics may override the sentiment. Torino have a pattern this summer of fielding offers on multiple fronts simultaneously, and Cacciamani now sits squarely in that picture.
The next weeks will determine whether Colucci retains the young midfielder he has built into a regular Serie A presence, or whether Torino bank the fee and absorb another gap in their squad.
