By OnzeActu · · 5 min read
The young winger born in 2007, despite the absence of call-ups to the youth team, is progressing quickly under the leadership of Ignazio Abate and is already attracting attention in Serie A.
Why it matters
Alessio Cacciamani, despite his absence from the national team, is becoming a key player for Torino under the management of Ignazio Abate. His rapid progression in Serie A football attracted the attention of big clubs, notably Roma, who tried to recruit him. Torino's refusal to sell Cacciamani underlines the club's confidence in his potential and his importance for the long-term project.
Context
Alessio Cacciamani, born in 2007, made his Serie A debut with Vanoli in 2025. His move from Serie B with Juve Stabia to exposure at the highest level with Torino marks a significant step in his career. Under the tutelage of Ignazio Abate, he has evolved into a versatile player capable of covering the entire width of the pitch.
Key points
- Torino: Cacciamani deprived of the Azzurro, but more.
- The young winger born in 2007, despite the absence of call-ups to the youth team, is progressing quickly under the leadership of Ignazio Abate and is already attracting attention in Serie A.
- Torino, Cacciamani è rimasto senza azzurro. Ma è semper più a pilastro di Abate.
The player's trajectory is particular. Remaining on the fringes of youth team calls, Cacciamani has nevertheless received increased attention in recent months, punctuated by the call-up of Silvio Baldini on June 5 for a test in Greece, where he replaced Cherubini. This increase in visibility also sparked market movements: Roma made an offer of 15 million euros – pushed by the request of Gian Piero Gasperini – which Torino ultimately refused, largely because the club and the player favored the continuity of the project led by Abate.

Ignazio Abate, who has been following Cacciamani for over a year, has helped transform his profile: the former youth team attacking winger has become a player capable of covering the entire width of the lane. His speed, his dribbling skills and this “sterzata” – this change of support which characterizes him – are now part of his arsenal. Abate trusts him: he has fielded him seven times in seven matches, including six starts.
The technician does not hide his expectations while remaining cautious about the youngster's progress: “He has a notable change of pace, but he can be more convinced of his own abilities,” he explained, insisting on the need to give him space to express all his power. According to Abate, Cacciamani can be particularly effective in a 4-4-2 system, while also offering interesting solutions as a "fifth" if his offensive contribution improves.
During the long break that is looming, Torino intends to continue to cautiously grow its talent without skipping steps. On the left, Cacciamani will be able to alternate with Fortini, while Belghali will take advantage of the truce to regain full fitness. The club's objective is clear: to convert the potential demonstrated in recent months into a sure value for the future of Torino.
The rest
With the growing interest in Cacciamani, it is likely that other Serie A clubs will continue to monitor his situation. Torino, by keeping the young winger, is banking on his ability to develop further under Abate. Cacciamani's performances in the next matches will be crucial to confirm his status as a pillar within the team and for his future career.
