Demba Seck’s time at Catanzaro has come to a quiet close, and with it, fresh questions loom over the Senegalese winger’s future at Torino.
Seck joined Catanzaro on loan ahead of their Serie B campaign, but the move has yielded little reward for either the player or the club.
Over the course of 18 league appearances, he failed to find the back of the net and managed just a single assist—a contribution in a 2-2 draw with Mantova.
For a player once seen as a promising talent, the numbers tell only part of the story.
More concerning for observers and management alike was his inability to make a meaningful impact during matches.
The 24-year-old struggled for regular minutes, starting only one match from beginning to end.
In most other games, he was either deployed off the bench or substituted early after failing to influence proceedings.
That lack of rhythm and consistency ultimately led Catanzaro to decline the option to make his stay permanent.
Seck now returns to Torino, the Serie A club he joined in the winter of 2022 after a promising stint with SPAL.
But his time in Turin has so far failed to live up to expectations.
Across three seasons, the forward has featured in 38 matches in all competitions without registering a single goal or assist.
With one year remaining on his current contract, Torino now face a decision on the former Senegal youth international’s next step.
According to club sources, all possibilities remain open—another loan, a permanent transfer, or an extended stay.
But what seems increasingly unlikely is his reintegration into the first-team plans under the current technical leadership.
The trajectory of Seck’s club career stands in contrast to the potential he once showed as a rising player in Italy’s lower divisions.
His pace and dribbling ability hinted at a bright future, but the transition to top-flight expectations has proved difficult.
With the summer transfer window approaching, Seck will be hoping for a fresh start—whether in Italy or abroad—that can revive his form and reignite a stalled career.
As it stands, both Torino and the player appear ready to turn the page.
