Torino Reach Agreement With Napoli for Giovanni Simeone Transfer

Torino and Napoli have agreed on the transfer of Giovanni Simeone. The deal is worth €8 million. Simeone is now waiting for permission to travel for medical tests.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Torino have finalized talks with Napoli for Giovanni Simeone. They agreed on an €8 million deal, including €1 million as a loan fee. The move happened after Torino moved quickly to close the deal in recent days. Napoli had wanted more money for Simeone but accepted Torino’s offer. The transfer will be done once Napoli gives approval for medical tests. This will end Simeone’s two-year stay in Naples. Reports say he is ready to travel as soon as he gets the okay from Napoli, as Giovanni Simeone is close to leaving Napoli for Torino.

WHY THIS MOVE MATTERS

Giovanni Simeone joined Napoli in 2022 initially on loan, then fully. He scored important goals for Napoli in both Serie A and Europe. Even if he wasn’t a regular starter, he scored against big teams like AC Milan and Liverpool. He was part of Napoli’s Serie A-winning team in the 2024/25 season. Last year, Simeone didn’t play much, which led Napoli to listen to offers for him; he is ready to leave Napoli due to his lack of consistent playing time, as confirmed in a previous report highlighting his readiness for a transfer. Torino are looking to add forwards and signing a player like Simeone could add strength to their attack, especially after finishing mid-table last season.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR TORINO AND NAPOLI?

The transfer should be completed soon once Simeone passes his medical tests, as Gio Simeone is expected to undergo a medical at Torino in the next 24 to 48 hours. Torino are preparing for their next Serie A game; they have the opener against last season’s runner-ups Inter Milan. Napoli, aiming for back-to-back titles, will open their league campaign against newly-promoted Sassuolo. Both teams want a strong start to the new season. With Simeone leaving, Napoli will need to replace him before the transfer window closes.
