The Torino transfer market has officially announced on September 3rd the return of Ricardo Rodríguez, the 34-year-old Swiss left-back, who signs as a free agent after ending his contract with Real Betis on June 30th. The player is linked to the Italian club until June 2027, with an option to extend the agreement for another season.

Torino regains Ricardo Rodríguez after two years at Real Betis

Ricardo Rodríguez returns to Torino after playing 68 matches and providing 3 assists with Real Betis between the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons, as reported by the Italian club. His time in Spain ended with the expiration of his contract.

The left-back joined Betis in August 2024 with a contract until 2026, after concluding his first spell at Torino. The green and white team confirmed on June 30, 2026, that Rodríguez would not continue in the squad upon the expiration of his contract.

The deal does not involve a transfer. Rodríguez had been without a club since July 1 and, after the close of the Italian market, he was able to join as a free agent. His last market value recorded by Transfermarkt was €1.4 million as of June 5, 2026.

Return to Serie A four years later

The new contract brings Rodríguez back to Serie A, a league where he had already gained a significant amount of experience during his previous time in Italy. Torino initially signed him in September 2020, and he remained with the club until the summer of 2024.

During that initial stint, the defender played 129 matches in Serie A and the Coppa Italia, contributing 1 goal and 3 assists. Moreover, he served as the team captain for part of his time in Turin.

Prior to his spell at Real Betis, Rodríguez also played for Wolfsburg, Milan, and PSV Eindhoven. He featured in 184 games with the German side and in 93 appearances, scoring 4 goals and providing 5 assists with Milan.

The signing fulfills a specific need for the squad led by Ignazio Abate. Sporting director Gianluca Petrachi had identified a left-back among the free agents, and discussions progressed during September 2nd, before Torino confirmed the acquisition the following day.

Rodríguez returns, therefore, to a club he is familiar with after more than two seasons away. The agreement until 2027, with an option for 2027/28, paves the way for the next step in his career, allowing him to continue in Serie A despite the closure of the ordinary transfer market.

The next step will be his immediate integration into Torino's work with Abate, as the team prepares for the start of the Serie A season. The club has now formally completed the registration of Ricardo Rodríguez, reinstating the Swiss player for the 2026/27 campaign.
