Franco Israel gets bad news, ex-Sporting faces season to forget | OneFootball

Franco Israel is set to leave Torino at the end of the season, after a spell that fell short of expectations. The goalkeeper left Sporting last summer in a deal worth around €4 million, with the prospect of becoming first choice, something that did not materialise.

indicates that the Uruguay international is now looking for a team where he can play more regularly. Although he still has a contract valid for another two seasons, his recent lack of playing time is said to have been decisive in his decision.

The goalkeeper even started the season as first choice, playing the full 90 minutes in the opening Serie A matchdays, but an injury ended up halting that positive spell. When he returned, he still had a few opportunities, but lost ground to Alberto Paleari, who took over in goal and never gave up his place.

Since then, the goalkeeper – who spoke about Francisco Trincão's contract renewal – has not played again in 2026, and has also been left out of the plans of the national team coached by Marcelo Bielsa. The lack of minutes has affected his place in recent call-ups and could even rule him out of the 2026 World Cup.

In the current 2025/26 season, wearing the Torino shirt, Franco Israel – valued at €3 million – has made 10 appearances: nine in Serie A and one in the Coppa Italia.
