Modena have won the race to sign Ghanaian-Italian midfielder Wisdom Acquah on loan from Torino after meeting the player’s terms, Footy-Africa can exclusively reveal.
It had been agreed that the 19-year-old defensive midfielder would leave Torino on loan for the 2026/27 season, with Modena and Catanzaro battling for his signature.
Catanzaro had been in advanced talks with Torino and were pushing to complete the deal, but Modena stepped up their efforts and have now won the race after reaching an agreement with the player.
Acquah is scheduled to undergo his medicals with Modena on Monday, with the move expected to be completed barring any issues.

The loan move is designed to give the promising midfielder regular senior football and an opportunity to continue his development in Serie B.
Acquah made 29 appearances for Torino’s youth team last season and was also named on the senior team’s bench on a couple of occasions during their Serie A campaign.
The midfielder has yet to receive an Italy call-up and remains on the radar of the Ghana Football Association due to his Ghanaian heritage.
