While in Naples for a charity event, Argentinian centre-forward Giovanni Simeone, 31, was questioned about the chance of a return to Napoli during the January transfer window. He stated that he always makes a maximum effort for himself and his team and will continue to do so. In response to a potential recall by Napoli, Simeone said he is thinking about the present and about Torino, adding that the team is trying to get points because they are needed. Simeone joined Torino from Napoli in July 2026 for a fee of €7.2 million, and his contract runs until June 2028. The forward has 6 caps and 1 goal for Argentina and his current market value is €7.00m, according to Transfermarkt. He has also been linked with River Plate.
