Torino President Urbano Cairo responded to the accusations from Lazio striker Ciro Immobile on Tuesday night. ‘I also know who Ciro Immobile is’.
The conflict between Lazio and Torino continued in the postponed game and 0-0 was enough to save the Granata, but the tension continued after the final whistle.

“But he, Ciro Immobile, didn’t call me personally this time. He had his agent tell me that for personal reasons, he couldn’t stay in Turin. So, I didn’t sign him, because I understood who Ciro Immobile is…”
