La Liga
The future of Giovanni Simeone seems to be definitively heading towards Italian football. The Argentine forward, who has not managed to secure a starting spot at Napoli, is very close to finalizing his transfer to Torino, leaving behind any possibility of landing in LaLiga, where Sevilla had shown some interest in incorporating him as an offensive reinforcement.
The 29-year-old striker, son of renowned coach Diego Simeone, has made the decision to seek more prominence after several years as an alternative coming off the bench at the southern Italian club. Despite being part of a squad that celebrated two league titles in the 2022/23 and 2024/25 seasons, his participation was limited, prompting him to consider new horizons.
He has always wanted to stay in Italy
From Turin, Marco Baroni has been key in advancing the operation. The coach of the granata team has insisted on having Gio to strengthen their offense, and the player has reportedly approved the project. According to reports from EstadioDeportivo, only an agreement needs to be reached between Napoli and Torino on the economic terms, as Napoli demands a sum close to 8 million euros.
If the transfer goes through, Simeone would add his sixth club in Serie A, making it clear that his priority is to continue in a familiar environment. Meanwhile, Sevilla will need to keep searching for alternatives to reinforce their forward line for the upcoming season.
