31-year-old Italian footballer is leaving Spain and moving to Italy, this year returning to "Serie A".

After Joaquin moved from "Real Betis" to "Valencia", the coach of the latter team, Quique Sanchez Flores, stated that he no longer sees a place for S.Fiore in his team.

The former Italian national team defender arrived at "Mestalla" in the summer of 2004 from "Lazio", who bought this player in 2001 from "Udinese" for as much as 47 million euros.

The first season in Spain for Stefano Fiore was unsuccessful - in 20 matches he scored only 2 goals. Last year, the Italian was loaned to the "Fiorentina" team and scored 6 goals in 38 matches.

After a longer break, "Torino", which has ambitious plans, has signed two more players.

A two-year contract was signed with 26-year-old Japanese national team striker Masashi Oguro, who previously played for the French club "Grenoble".

In the final minutes before the transfer window closed, a contract was also signed with striker Axel Konan from Ivory Coast, who represented "Lecce".
