Attributed to original sourceTorino director Gianluca Petrachi admits he’ll sit down with Ché Adams to discuss the striker’s future at the club, but the Granata are confident of retaining both Giovanni Simeone and Nikola Vlasic.
Torino unveiled their new coach, Ignazio Abate, at a press conference today, during which sporting director Petrachi provided some transfer updates.
One of the questions was on Scotland international Ché Adams, who has reportedly attracted interest from Wolves and Venezia.
“Currently, he’s on holiday, lucky him,” Petrachi said, smiling (via TMW).
Torino: Ché Adams had an offer to leave in January “When he returns, we’ll talk and see what he wants to do. He received a request in January, and he made himself available to stay, but to talk about it again in the summer.”

(Photo by Valerio Pennicino/Getty Images) Adams, 29, has less than a year left in his contract with Torino, where he has just completed his second season after a free transfer from Sunderland in 2024.
While Adam’s future in Turin is far from certain, Duvan Zapata has just signed a new contract, agreeing to a pay cut in exchange for a longer deal.
“He proved to be a silent leader; he doesn’t talk much, but he has an impact and says wise things,” Petrachi said.
“He’s spread his salary, making an important gesture. The Zapata we saw in January can give us a lot.”
Petrachi is confident that both Simeone and Vlasic will remain at Torino in 2026-27, even if the Argentine striker had previously pushed to join River Plate.
“There was a situation for which he wanted to return home, but there are moments when a footballer is tired and thinks about the family; everyone has weaknesses,” Petrachi explained.
“But we’ve made him understand that it’s not yet the time to return home. He has understood and is committed. Abate spoke to him for 30 minutes, and he resumed with grit.
“I also asked Vlasic to stay,” Petrachi concluded.
“He is a player worthy of Toro, I’m in love with him on footballing terms.”

What happened
Torino are open to the possibility of selling Scotland international striker Ché Adams, with the Italian club refusing to rule out an exit during the current transfer window. Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers have been linked with a move for the forward, who joined Torino from Southampton. Adams has been a regular contributor for Torino, and his potential departure would represent a notable attacking change for the Serie A side. The story remains in the rumor phase, with no confirmed fee or agreement disclosed.
Chance analysis
Adams' potential exit would weaken Torino's attacking depth as they look to consolidate in Serie A. For Wolves, a proven Premier League-experienced striker could address a key need, though Adams' Serie A output has been modest. The uncertainty around the move means prediction systems should treat Torino's attacking line as potentially diminished until the window closes, while Wolves' plans hinge on this and other targets.
Torino face potential loss of a key striker; Wolves could gain Premier League-experienced attacking reinforcement if a deal materializes.
If Adams leaves Torino, reduce expectations for Torino's attacking output; if he joins Wolves, he may provide squad depth but not necessarily a major upgrade.
