Torino are poised to secure the services of Lucas Perri on a loan deal from Fiorentina, according to reports emerging from Italy. The move will see the young goalkeeper join Ignazio Abate’s squad, with the potential for a future permanent transfer. Torino are also finalizing deals for Eray Cömert, a free agent set to sign a two-year contract, and Pietro Comuzzo, arriving on an initial loan with an option to buy from Fiorentina.
Perri, 25, has spent the majority of his career in Brazil, developing through the youth ranks at São Paulo before moving to Botafogo in 2022. He joined Fiorentina in January 2023 but has found first-team opportunities limited, primarily serving as a backup option. Last season, Perri made three appearances for the Viola in Serie A, demonstrating his readiness for league football despite limited game time.
Torino have been seeking a new goalkeeper following a period of uncertainty surrounding their current options. The arrival of Perri is expected to provide competition and potentially establish a long-term solution in that position. Abate will hope the Brazilian’s athleticism and shot-stopping ability will strengthen the team’s defensive solidity.
The loan deal, which is reportedly an ‘onerous’ loan – meaning Torino will pay a fee for the duration of the loan – allows Torino to assess Perri’s suitability before committing to a permanent transfer. The inclusion of a purchase option suggests the club are optimistic about his potential. This strategy aligns with Torino’s recent transfer policy of securing young, promising talents with the potential for future growth.
Alongside the Perri deal, Torino’s acquisition of Cömert provides much-needed depth in central defence, while Comuzzo offers a versatile option for the backline. These additions signal a proactive approach to strengthening the squad ahead of the upcoming Serie A season. The club will be hoping these reinforcements can propel them towards a top-half finish in the league.
