The air is thick with anticipation as they discuss a potential £70,000 transfer that could change the course of their careers. Resting his weary feet at the Mount Royal Hotel before this momentous encounter, Joe Baker appears focused and ready to impress. By his side stands Gigi Peronace, Sporting Director of Torino, offering support and guidance during this crucial negotiation.
