Torino has set its sights on European competition and is being encouraged to retain three coveted stars sought after by Premier League clubs as the summer approaches. Currently positioned ninth in the Serie A standings with six matches remaining, they lag behind fifth-place Roma by ten points and sixth-place Atalanta by five. Earlier in the season, Ivan Juric hinted at a potential departure if the club fails to qualify for European competition.

Despite Torino’s inconsistency in on-field performances this season, three players have notably shone – Alessandro Buongiorno, Raoul Bellanova, and Samuele Ricci, all of whom have garnered interest from the Premier League.

Today’s Tuttosport, on page 10, advocates for Torino to retain their star trio Buongiorno, Bellanova, and Ricci, asserting their crucial role in advancing the club’s objectives. Despite Premier League interest, these players remain integral to Torino’s pursuit of European qualification.

Retaining the trio could also sway Juric to prolong his tenure with the club beyond this season, regardless of their European fate this year.
