President Urbano Cairo reiterates he has no intention of selling Torino, meeting Red Bull and PIF only for \u2018sponsorship reasons\u2019, and Samuele Ricci \u2018is certainly staying\u2019 in January.<\/p>\n

The rumours have been swirling for months that Cairo is in negotiations to sell the club, fuelled also by the on-going protests from fans against his strategy.<\/p>\n

Among the most creditable reports were the links with Red Bull and Saudi Arabian investment fund PIF.<\/p>\n

\u201cI met Red Bull in early July because they wanted to know me in order to become a sponsor and that is what happened. We have not met since,\u201d Cairo told Radio Sportiva.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for PIF, I have never even met with them. There has been absolutely no contact, it was totally invented. Perhaps some are trying to spread rumours to destabilise the team, but we do not pay attention to such things.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the fans repeatedly criticising Cairo and his approach, there is a tense situation at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not selling Toro, but I also don\u2019t want to stay in this role for life. I poured \u20ac10m into a Torino side that was on the verge of bankruptcy to keep it alive. I dived into the fray, also inspired by my mother, who was a huge fan of the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there is someone richer than me who wants it, then let them step forward, I am ready to listen to proposals,\u201d added Cairo.<\/p>\n

\u201cFans are fundamental and some might be against me, it happens, but if you are a Toro supporter then you ought to support the team and be positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember when people used to say the most important thing was for us to stay regularly in Serie A, well we have been for 13 years. Of course we can do better, but it could also be worse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cairo was asked about his transfer strategy for the January window and denied Italy international Ricci will be sacrificed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have total faith in coach Paolo Vanoli, the team is with him and we want to intervene in January to give him a few more players. Ricci will certainly remain at Torino.\u201d<\/p>\n
