Simeone: "I thought of staying at Napoli, but talking to Vagnati I understood that Torino was the right choice"

New experience in Italy for Giovanni Simeone, who after three seasons at Napoli has decided to marry the Torino project, with the beginning of the Marco Baroni era. Cholito spoke to the microphones of the club's official channel, explaining the negotiation that led him to wear the grenade jersey.

"President Cairo has been looking for me for a long time and when he called me this summer I knew it was the right time. I heard the director, it was the right choice to make. I'm really very happy and I have a lot of fire inside me that I can't wait to pour onto the field. In this transfer session, many teams looked for me, there were moments when I thought of staying at Napoli but when I spoke with Cairo and Vagnati I understood that I wanted to change and coming to Torino was the choice I had to make. It's a place where grit is needed, Torino has always been a gritty team and I can give a lot on this aspect. The debut against Modena was exciting, my father was also there who after losing the day before came to see me anyway and this makes me feel good, it shows how important the father-son relationship is."
