It was the first Serie B club to make a serious offer and was also the most determined to conclude the operation: Mantova purchased the striker Francesco Ruocco, 23 years old, who has been with Torres for three seasons on a permanent basis. .

The Sassari-based company did not disclose the details of the sale, but considering that Ruocco still had one year left on his contract, he received a buy out, an indemnity. It remains to be understood whether it is in money or whether a technical compensation will arrive.

Sports director Andrea Colombino commented: «We are happy that Francesco can take this important and well-deserved step of growth for his career. We wish him to always remain a simple and humble boy."

Torres certainly now has one less striker, the youngest (and on the rise) and the most prolific, with his 12 goals scored in the last championship. It goes without saying that the rossoblù team must find a replacement, possibly under 30, given that the confirmed Diakite, Scotto and Fischnaller are all over 30 and the only young player is the twenty-two year old Sanat.
