Torino coach Paolo Vanoli confirmed Bellanova's departure, stating that neither he nor the team expected the transfer. Bellanova had even attended a press conference after the Milan match, making the transfer surprising to everyone involved.

Torino decided to part ways with Bellanova just days before the transfer window closes.

Raoul Bellanova's transfer will bring Torino about 25 million euros (22 immediately and 3 tied to a series of bonuses).

There is a high demand for right-backs in Italy, but no major club has invested in Raoul Bellanova.
