(Photo by Simone Arveda/Getty Images)](https://football-italia.net/torino-mascardi-sunderland-leeds-goalkeeper/) Torino agreed a €2m deal for Spezia goalkeeper Diego Mascardi, but are reportedly still tracking others including Paraguay’s Orlando Gill, Lucas Perri at Leeds United, and Southampton’s Aaron Ramsdale.
The Granata are revamping their squad this summer to fit the vision of new coach Ignazio Abate, and the role undergoing the biggest transformation is that of goalkeeper.

Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia and more all confirm an agreement has been reached with Spezia for Mascardi, the 19-year-old who already has two Under-21 caps for Italy.
A product of the Spezia youth academy, the sale is said to be worth around €2m.
However, Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio warns he is more of an investment for the future than right now, so Torino are also actively seeking a more experienced shot-stopper.
Their preferred candidate remains Gill, who impressed so much for Paraguay in the 2026 World Cup, and is playing for San Lorenzo at club level.
With a growing list of interested clubs and a ballooning asking price, the Granata could also turn towards the Premier League.
Di Marzio maintains other alternatives include Lucas Perri of Leeds United, and Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
