Toronto FC adds to its defence by signing Raoul Petretta from Turkish side
2 minute read Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2023Toronto FC added to its defence Tuesday by signing former Italian youth international Raoul Petretta from Turkey's Kasimpasa Spor Kulubu.
Toronto used targeted allocation money to sign the 25-year-old through 2025 with an option for 2026.
Petretta fills the void left by fellow Italian Domenico Criscito, who left after the 2022 season to rejoin his former club Genoa.
Petretta, whose parents are originally from Italy, joined Kasimpasa in July and appeared in 12 matches across all competitions. Before that he spent four seasons in Switzerland with FC Basel, making 152 appearances with 10 goals and 12 assists in all competitions.
