Opens scoring in win Simeone scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 win against Verona.

Impact Simeone pounced on an errant Verona pass Sunday to put himself one-on-one with the keeper and score the opening goal of Torino's 3-0 road victory. In four appearances (two starts) since returning from a thigh injury, the veteran forward has peppered the net with 11 shots (seven on target). Overall, Simeone has scored five times across 15 appearances (12 starts), giving him the opportunity to tally double-digit goals in a Serie A season for the first time since the 2021/22 campaign.

Can't score despite five shots Simeone registered five shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Cagliari.

Impact Nikola Vlasic scored Torino's lone goal, but there's a strong argument to say Simeone was the team's most dangerous player in this game. Even though he couldn't find the back of the net, the striker continues to pose a threat for opposing defenses. Simeone has four goals this season, but he's in a bit of a slump since his last Serie A goal came in early November. Despite that, he should remain in the starting XI as long as he stays healthy.

Makes bench Saturday Simeone (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Cremonese.

Impact Simeone trained regularly after not being ready to play in the previous match, but he is likely to be eased back in since he returns to the bench for Saturday's clash against Cremonese. The forward will still get a chance to feature later in the game if called upon given his quality as he has scored three goals across his last six appearances, adding 13 shots, five on target, and five chances created when available.

Likely for Cremonese meeting Simeone (thigh) has recuperated from the injury and should get some minutes versus Cremonese on Saturday, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Simeone made a token appearance on the bench even though he wasn't ready to play in the previous tilt, but he has trained regularly since. He'll re-join Che Adams, Duvan Zapata and Cyril Ngonge among the attacking options. He's been a staple when healthy, but he could be handled carefully for a game or two. He has scored three goals in his last six displays, posting 13 shots (five on target) and five chances created.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gets hurt in training Simeone sustained a rectus femoris lesion as a result of a clash in practice, Torino announced.

Impact Simeone will likely miss a couple of matches after the break because of the muscular injury. Che Adams, Cyril Ngonge and Duvan Zapata will divvy up the minutes in the two-man frontline while Simeone is on the mend.

NOVEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Takes two shots versus Juventus Simeone drew one foul and registered two shots (one on goal), two clearances and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Juventus.

Impact Simeone had a muted display due to the negative game plan, but he could have still scored thanks to a neat finish from close range if it wasn't for Michele Di Gregorio. He has found the target thrice in the last four rounds, adding 13 shots and five key passes. He has had at least one attempt in every display so far, averaging nearly 2.5 per game.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hits the net against Pisa Simeone scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and two clearances in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Pisa.

Impact Simeone had a few good opportunities as usual and found the target with a very sneaky header on a long cross, starting his team's comeback. He maintained his streak of season-long streak of performances with at least one shot and has amassed 25 in 10 fixtures (eight on target). He has scored thrice in the last five matches, adding 11 attempts (four on goal), four chances created and four clearances.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet performance in win Simeone had one off-target shot, created one chance and drew two fouls during Sunday's 2-1 win over Genoa.

Impact Simeone was far from being the threat that scored in each of the previous two games as he barely touched the ball here and couldn't find the target on the lone shot he had. The striker, who attempted at least three shots in each of his previous five starts, will hope this game was just an outlier but Wednesday's visit to Bologna and their stout defense will be a tough challenge.

Strikes in Napoli game Simeone scored one goal to go with three shots (one on target) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Napoli.

Impact Simeone punished his former team by keeping his aplomb after pouncing on a loose ball in the box, hesitating a couple of times in front of the goalie before tucking it home. He's up to three goals in the season. He has tallied three or more shots in the last five matches, accumulating 16 (five on target) and adding five key passes and three tackles (two won). He also registered a new season high in chances created in this one.

Napoli lose at Torino after late VAR ruling and Inter beats Roma

Napoli's celebrations in Turin were cut short after a dramatic finish against Torino in Serie A

OCTOBER 18, 2025 • Associated Press

Scores in draw Simeone scored a goal off three shots (one on target) and suffered two fouls during Saturday's 3-3 draw against Lazio.

Impact Simeone was at the right place to slot home a rebound from the goalkeeper in the 16th minute but then he couldn't threaten as expected upfront, especially during the second frame, which led him to be subbed off during the final stages of the contest. Anyway, that's now two goals over the last four starts for the striker, who remains ahead of Che Adams in the fight for playing time.

OCTOBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to score Simeone recorded four shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Atalanta.

Impact Simeone had plenty of chances and did put a couple shots on frame, but couldn't beat Atalanta's stellar goalkeeper. The forward should maintain this volume against a Parma team which has conceded just five times in four games but struggles to keep the ball out of its own half.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores winning goal against Roma Simeone scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Roma.

Impact Simeone struck the only goal in the 59th minute, curling home from the edge of the box after a nice assist from Cyril Ngonge. He had an earlier header off target and contributed with three shots and two tackles. Simeone scored his first goal of the season with his new club after joining from Napoli over the summer and has already matched his goal tally from the last two seasons. The forward will look to rediscover the form he showed during his time in Verona.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No shots on target in auspicious debut Simeone recorded two shots (none on goal) and one cross (not accurate) in Monday's 5-0 defeat against Inter Milan.

Impact Simeone was not effective in II Toro's five goal thrashing Monday, unsurprisingly he was subbed after 64 minutes. The new signing showed a flicker of promise with a threatening header just before halftime that skimmed narrowly wide, an indication he remains dangerous when service comes his way. Last season (2024-25), while at Napoli, he logged 30 Serie A appearances, tallying just one goal and one assist from 392 minutes played across the campaign. Going forward, Torino's new man must first carve out more minutes and foster better midfield connection to unlock his potential; consistent service and rhythm will be key for Simeone to reemerge as a fantasy asset.

AUGUST 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Transfers to Torino Simeone has moved to Torino on loan with a conditional obligation to buy and inked a three-year contract.

Impact Simeone departs Napoli after three seasons, as the conditions to make the deal permanent are reportedly very easy. He was a clear deputy in his former team, often getting minutes late in games. He totaled 11 goals in 83 Serie A appearances (10 starts). He logged 13 shots (three on target), eight chances created and three crosses (zero accurate) in the past campaign. He'll duel with Che Adams in the first couple of months since Duvan Zapata (knee) isn't expected to be ready for the opener.

AUGUST 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up assist in win Simeone assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Udinese.

Impact Simeone entered the match as a sub for Romelu Lukaku in the 80th minute of play. He did not take long at all to get to work, as he set up Frank Anguissa for a shot from the center of the box to give their side a 3-1 lead only one minute later. Simeone has now accounted for a chance created in each of the last two games where he played at least 10 minutes.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores final goal in sub appearance Simeone scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Bologna.

Impact Simeone came onto the pitch with six minutes to go and scored the game's third goal to seal the victory. This matches his underwhelming goal tally of last season where he scored one goal in 28 appearances.

AUGUST 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Takes three shots against Genoa Simeone had three off-target shots and created one chance during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Genoa.

Impact Simeone made his third consecutive start and, if he didn't struggle as he did on the previous outing, the accuracy in front of the net wasn't there for him once again as the striker failed to hit the target in every attempt. Victor Osimhen (rest) should be available for the upcoming matches and for Simeone, who scored for the last time back in November, this will probably mean a return to the bench.

FEBRUARY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Completes suspension Simeone cleared a one-match ban in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Lazio.

Impact Simeone has started over Giacomo Raspadori while Victor Osimhen (AFCON) is away in the last Serie A round and in two Supercoppa games. He has hit the net once and logged 11 shots (three on target), one key pass, and two inaccurate crosses in his last five showings.

JANUARY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent off in the Supercoppa Simeone was booked twice in Monday's Supercoppa final against Inter, which will force him to miss one game in Serie A.

Impact Simeone will be unavailable against Lazio on Sunday, so Giacomo Raspadori will lead the line since Victor Osimhen is away for AFCON. Napoli also won't have Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for the same reason, which could lead to a rare start for Jesper Lindstrom or the debut of newcomer Cyril Ngonge right from eh get-go.

JANUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Passable in Salernitana tilt Simeone had three shots (one on goal), four tackles (one won), four successful duels, and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Salernitana.

Impact Simeone got the call over Giacomo Raspadori to replace Victor Osimhen (AFCON) and was decently bubbly. His biggest contribution was drawing a PK in the first half by beating a defender to the punch and getting hit on the foot. He has registered 11 shots (three on target), one chance created, and two crosses (zero accurate) in his last five appearances.

JANUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Four shots off bench Simeone registered four shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Torino.

Impact Simeone took a season-high four shots in Sunday's loss, providing a solid attacking output in just 31 minutes of action. While he did not put a shot on target, it was still a nice performance from him off the bench.

JANUARY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Simeone got his second start in three matches wile scoring his first UCL goal of the season. He as only been used as a depth option for the team, making a total of just three starts in 16 appearances in all competitions. This includes two goals on 17 shots (eight on target) in that span.

NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
