Paolo Vanoli’s Torino is preparing to say goodbye to the club’s first prized piece, his contract with the Granata will expire tomorrow
The week that will end tomorrow, Sunday 30th July, at midnight sharp, will be the last of Ricardo Rodriguez as a member of Torino. The Swiss full-back’s contract will expire on the last day of the month and any possibility of a renewal for him has long since faded away. In short, after four seasons (Rodriguez arrived in the shadow of the Mole in 2020), 119 matches played, one goal and the captain’s armband on his arm, the Swiss is now close to saying goodbye to Piedmont forever.
To confirm the news – which to tell the truth had already begun to be aired after the failure to extend the contract of the mister Juric – the owner himself thought about it Turin Urban Cairo. The words of the entrepreneur from Alessandria were peremptory, and at an event held in Milan about two weeks ago, he reiterated the decision made by the thirty-one-year-old from Zurich. With, of course, relative thanks for the professionalism shown by the defender during his years of ‘service’ in the Granata.
If for the Torino It will be no small feat to find a pawn capable of replacing the ex Milanthe future of the same also seems anything but obvious Rodriguez. Petrodollars from theSaudi Arabia they represent an attractive offer (remember that the full-back will blow out 32 candles in August), but it would be very hasty to exclude other possibilities. In fact, there are rumors from many quarters of a possible interest in the Monzanot to mention the paths to follow that lead instead towards Eastern Europe.
What is certain is that in these very moments the first (and perhaps) only concern of Rodriguez has a very specific face: the 2024 European Championships. This evening the ’92 class will take to the field from the first minute in Switzerland Italy. On the other side of the green rectangle his – now ex – teammates from Turin Good morning e Bellanova. Only then will there be time to talk about the market.
