Will Torino become part of the Red Bull universe? Urbano Cairo says no, La Stampa reiterates the yes, in Austria it is already a given.
A Taurus already exists: the idea is to give him a twin. The controversy? The cufflink in question could be bright red, and not garnet. The indiscretion comes from colleagues de The Press: in the last hours, the president of Torino soccer Urban Cairo he would have met some high emissaries of the Red Bull for a potential sale of the club.
Now, it is good to note that in fact Red Bull will already be main sponsor of the granata starting next year: this is the first commitment in Serie A for the energizing drinks giant, and this is certainly a detail that would have favored the proliferation of rumors. But what is true?
Denial, “Done deal”, and a divided fan base
The title of the article de The Press is more than eloquent: “Bull for sale“. Cairo would have met several times, at least three, with the “high emissaries of Red Bull at the beginning to talk about a possible expansion of the collaboration as main sponsor starting from 2025 and then to evaluate an interest in purchasing the Granata”. They clues there is no shortage.
And sales more or less unexpected – with consequent protests from the Granata fans – to smooth out the budget to the fact that when Red Bull decides to get involved, “it’s not a coincidence: it does it to strengthen itself and stay”. Cairo, for his part, preferred to turn off the chatter.
“There is nothing trueI have no intention of selling Torino, I haven’t met anyone” declared the Granata president. And there is also a more caustic edge: “Let’s say that the Press likes to destabilize the Toro environment.”
The answer of The Press it doesn’t take long to arrive, and confuses the waters even more: “No attempt at destabilization: simply three different fonts ffinancial and commercial confirm the meetings that took place”. And in Austria it seems that the deal is already done.
An article from Salzburg News unequivocally mentions the Torino come already leaving of the universe of football clubs already present in Red Bull’s portfolio. And the fans, understandably, they dream… Although there are those who turn up their noses.
The fear is that the potential acquisition could cancel history, symbols e colors of one of the most iconic clubs in the country. The fans, in other words, are split: those who hope to add a twin to the Toro granata, so as to bring the team back to the top of the championship; and those who prefer to bask in the nostalgia.
