Aaron Ciammaglichella’s journey with Torino began at the tender age of four and a half, marking the start of a remarkable ascent through the club’s youth ranks. Now 19, the talented midfielder has already achieved milestones that many players can only dream of: playing for the Primavera team at 16, earning his first senior squad call-up at 18, and making his Serie A debut at 19 in a 2-1 victory against Atalanta last August.
Born in Turin and raised in the Santa Rita neighborhood, just a stone’s throw from the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino and the Filadelfia training ground, Ciammaglichella’s roots run deep in the city’s footballing culture. His father, Matteo, a former professional futsal player, has undoubtedly influenced his son’s technical prowess.
Primarily an attacking midfielder, Ciammaglichella’s versatility has seen him deployed as a winger and even as a second striker during his time with the Primavera squad. His skillset is characterized by excellent technique and an innate ability to make penetrating runs into the box, often resulting in goal-scoring opportunities.
Calciomercato report that Ciammaglichella’s talents have not gone unnoticed on the international stage. A regular fixture in Italy’s youth national teams, his recent performances for the Azzurri U20 side against Poland and Romania have caught the eye of Paris Saint-Germain scouts, who were in attendance to observe the young star.
This growing interest from one of Europe’s elite clubs has put Torino on high alert. Ciammaglichella’s current contract with the Granata is set to expire at the end of the season, though the club holds an option to extend it until 2026. Club president Urbano Cairo and sporting director Davide Vagnati are keen to exercise this option, but they’re not stopping there.
Vagnati is currently in negotiations with Ciammaglichella’s agent, Giuseppe Riso, aiming to secure a long-term deal for the 2005-born midfielder. Torino’s goal is clear: to protect their homegrown talent from potential suitors and ensure that Ciammaglichella remains a cornerstone of their future plans.
