Giovanni Simeone is aiming to return to River Plate

Giovanni Simeone's time in Turin may be coming to an end. The striker, who recently celebrated the Italian championship with Torino, is now considering returning to Argentina to play for River Plate again. During press conferences in the second part of the season, Simeone made it clear that he was homesick and now he intended to present his position personally to the president of Urbano Cairo. Simeone, who spent part of his holidays in Argentina, does not hide his nostalgia for his homeland. However, despite his willingness, negotiations with River Plate will not be easy. The current offer of EUR 9 million was rejected by Torino because they expect almost twice as much. Still, a player's determination can play a key role in reaching an agreement.  The situation is becoming tense because Torino does not want to lose its best scorer from last season, and Cairo is counting on profit from the possible transfer of a player who cost the club 6 million euros a year earlier. Coach Abate is concerned about the situation as he needs clarity on Simeone's future before starting preparations for the new season. The Torino team plans to start training on July 10 at the Philadelphia Stadium, and then move to Pinzolo from July 13 to 25. Former player Alessandro Gazzi will also join the team and will take over as team manager after retiring from football.  --- ## Related Articles 1.
