When asked about a possible return to River Plate, Giovanni Simeone said the future is uncertain, stating that he does not know what could happen and is now focused on the present moment.

According to a report by Nicolo Schira, Torino has purchased Giovanni Simeone for 7 million Euro after an initial loan spell. The report also stated that Torino considers Simeone a key figure in their project, despite interest from Beşiktaş and River Plate, and that the player is open to staying with the club.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Torino's 30-year-old Argentinian striker Giovanni Simeone is on River Plate's agenda for the summer transfer window and is considered a priority for the club's new coach, Eduardo Coudet. Simeone has registered 7 goals and one assist in 23 appearances for the Italian team during a season that he has described as difficult. The forward, who has been capped 6 times for Argentina, is currently on loan from Napoli and has a Transfermarkt market value of €5.00m.
