Torino has officially given its consent for Antonio Sanabria to undergo a medical examination, a significant step paving the way for his transfer to Cremonese. The reported fee for this move stands at €2.5 million, with the potential for additional performance-based bonuses.
The Paraguayan center-forward had seen his role diminish significantly within Torino`s tactical framework, especially following the strategic changes introduced by coach Marco Baroni and the arrival of fellow striker Giovanni Simeone.
Sanabria had openly expressed his desire to continue playing in Italy`s top flight, Serie A, and is now poised to join Cremonese, a club recently promoted to the league.
According to insights from Sky Sport Italia, the financial terms of the operation are approximately €2.5 million, supplemented by performance-related incentives that could increase the overall value.
Sanabria`s Changing Stature at Torino
With the 29-year-old entering the final months of his contract, this transfer represents Torino`s final opportunity to secure a fee for the player before he becomes eligible to leave as a free agent.
Sanabria was originally acquired by Torino from Real Betis in January 2021 for an initial sum of €6.5 million, with potential add-ons that could have reached up to €3 million.
While he showcased impressive form in the 2022-23 season, netting 12 goals in 33 Serie A appearances, he subsequently struggled to maintain that level of output in his later campaigns with the club.
His goal tally saw a notable decrease, with just five goals in the 2023-24 season, further declining to only two goals accompanied by one assist in the most recent campaign.
