Today’s edition of Tuttosport focuses on the Palermo transfer market for the assault on Serie A.
Palermo is unleashed and wants to give Dionisi a super team to be able to aspire to direct promotion. The most interesting profiles are to be found in Sassuolo: for defense the managers like Gianmarco Ferrari, while in attack they would be of interest Grégoire Defrel And Samuele Mulattieri (the first two are expiring their contracts). But they also like the external attacker Giuseppe Caso (Frosinone), Jari Vandeputte (Catanzaro) and the center forward Gennaro Borrelli, on which Brescia can exercise the right of redemption (3.2 million fixed price plus some bonuses) from Wednesday to Friday, otherwise the player will return to Frosinone.
All that is missing is the official announcement for Beppe Ursino as the new general manager of Cosenza, where he will take the place of Roberto Gemmi who moves to Empoli. Now the rossoblù Wolves need to sort out the coaching issue: if William Viali doesn’t remain (on Pisa’s notebook) Christian Bucchi is also on the list of candidates. Catanzaro has started meeting the sporting directors appointed to replace Giuseppe Magalini, headed to Bari where Valerio Di Cesare could be his deputy: yesterday it was the turn of Ciro Polito, who will leave his place behind the desk to Magalini.
The name of Davide Vaira (formerly of Modena) is also on the Giallorossi club’s notebook. Magalini, however, raised a smoke screen with these statements: «My name is associated with numerous clubs, but I have not signed with anyone and I am still a member of Catanzaro, until I speak with my president the possibility cannot be ruled out to stay”.
For the bench, Bari continues to have Pippo Inzaghi as their first choice, but in the meantime they also had a chat with Mimmo Toscano, who is leaving Cesena where the only candidate is Roberto D’Aversa, who will sign this week (perhaps already today) a two-year program with an option for a third year, thus starting a real cycle. Brescia risks losing Renzo Castagnini, who still has one year left on his contract and was talking with Cellino about extending it until 2026, thus aligning himself with Maran. The manager has family problems and at the moment he wants to give priority to them, living in Reggello he could be interested in a role as sporting director in Pisa, but it cannot be ruled out that he could take a sabbatical and then evaluate what to do.
Brescia has Eugenio Bianchini at home, equipped with a sports director’s license and already Castagnini’s “man”, but he only has experience in amateur championships and was also hired to be responsible for the youth sector. A nice puzzle, which the Brescia president will try to solve this week when he returns after a short holiday at his home in Cagliari. Pisa, Spezia and Cesena are on the trail of Pescara striker Davide Merola (born in 2000, 19 goals in the last championship). From tomorrow Carrarese will also have to get to work, first of all to retain the most requested players: Imperiale, Schiavi and Finotto above all.
