Torino have secured the permanent signing of Tommaso Oristanio from Inter Milan, the club confirmed on Friday. The financial details of the deal were not disclosed, though sources indicate it represents a significant investment for the Serie A side. Oristanio joins Torino ahead of the upcoming season, bolstering their midfield options.
Oristanio, 21, progressed through Inter Milan’s youth system, making his senior debut in 2020. While he has shown promise, opportunities at the San Siro have been limited, leading to a loan spell at Volendam last season where he featured in 31 Eredivisie matches. He scored five goals and provided three assists during his time in the Netherlands, demonstrating his potential as an attacking midfielder.
The move to Torino offers Oristanio the chance for regular first-team football, something he has been seeking to further his development. Torino manager Ivan Juric is known for his tactical flexibility and willingness to give young players opportunities, making the club an attractive destination for the Italian Under-21 international. Juric is reportedly planning to utilise Oristanio in the attacking midfield role, alongside the returning Nikola Vlasic.
Torino are also anticipating the return of Vlasic, who is set to rejoin pre-season training following his involvement in the recent World Cup. Additionally, manager Abate has indicated plans to deploy Cesare Casadei in a more advanced position, further increasing competition for places in the attacking midfield area. The arrival of Oristanio adds depth and quality to this area of the pitch, providing Juric with more options.
Torino finished mid-table in Serie A last season and will be hoping to improve their performance in the upcoming campaign. The signing of Oristanio is an early indication of their ambition, suggesting they are looking to strengthen their squad and compete for a European place. The addition of a creative midfielder like Oristanio could prove pivotal in unlocking opposing defences and securing crucial points.
