Turin targeting Jari Vandeputte: no from Catanzaro’s offensive wildcard to City Group-branded Palermo, the boy wants Serie A
Today’s edition of Tuttosport focuses on the Torino transfer market which is moving fast to plan next season. While waiting to formalize the arrival on the bench of Paolo Vanoli, fresh from promotion to Serie A at the helm of Venezia, sporting director Vagnati scours the market in search of profiles suitable and functional to the footballing beliefs of the new Granata coach. Vanoli alternates 3-4-3 with 3-5-3 in relation to moments of the match and type of opponent, which is why he needs a battery of flexible and skilled wingers in both phases of the game, rotateable and usable in both game systems. The Granata management is also looking carefully at Serie B, where this year the crystalline talent of Jari Vandeputte has emerged, twenty-eight years old and spearhead of Vivarini’s surprising Catanzaro. Exponential growth in recent seasons for a boy who shows great signs of maturation on a technical-tactical level, as certified by the flattering numbers collected in this championship. Offensive trident-like sting, skilled in one-on-one situations and cool when finishing, but also a 3-5-2 plunger with an offensive propensity but good discipline even when not in possession. 36 appearances, 9 goals and 14 assists, for a player who still has a year left on his contract with the Calabrians but has already made it known that he wants to try his hand at a higher category club. Which is why he and his entourage politely bypassed Palermo’s court, fascinated by Torino’s project and aware of the interest of Corvino’s Lecce.
