Torino Sign Dellafiore

Torino have announced the signing of Paolo Hernan Dellafiore from Palermo

Palermo have completed the transfer of defender Paolo Hernan Dellafiore to Torino on a loan deal that will allow the Granata to sign him permanently at the end of his loan period if they so choose.

Dellafiore returns to the Granata as he played 28 games and scored one goal for them last season when he was on loan from the Sicilians.

Torino have been in the market for a reliable defender and the youngster has provided them with that cover at the back. Dellafiore turns 24 on 2 February and he will do so as a Torino player.

He had struggled to feature for Palermo in the current campaign, making only four appearances in Serie A and one in the Italian Cup so far this season.

After completing a medical at the club this morning Dellafiore said, “I can only thank Torino for wanting to bring me back here once more. Last season with them was a very important one for me in terms of my personal and professional life, in which time I was able to appreciate the quality of the club and the affection in the environment.”

The player added, “I also thank Palermo, for allowing me to return to wear the Granata jersey, as this is where I wanted to return.”
