Major news sources are reporting that a bid has been submitted by Torino for David Ricardo, the defender currently playing for Botafogo. The move confirms reports of long-standing interest in the player, but whether the team will deem it enough for them to part with an important member of their squad remains to be seen. Negotiations are still active, and with no other teams linked, Torino appear to have a clear path to completing the deal. This season (25/26) Torino have shipped 28 goals in 18 matches - 1.56 a game, which is well above the Serie A average. David Ricardo would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back. No fresh speculation surrounds Botafogo or Torino regarding other transfer targets.
