Today’s edition of “Il Corriere dello Sport” focuses on the negotiations of the day in Serie A.
The feeling is that no more than 48 hours will pass and by the end of the weekend that is about to begin, Eusebio Di Francesco (54) will dissolve all reservations and become the new coach of Venezia. Sports director Filippo Antonelli himself confirmed yesterday: «Di Francesco is one of the profiles that interests us but we’ll see in the next few days». It is known that Empoli has also shown interest in the former Frosinone coach, there have also been talks on that front, but in the end Venezia seems more determined and stimulated to leave, while in Tuscany the waste of the separation from Nicola still they must be disposed of completely. Di Francesco has already spoken to the lagoon people two or three times, going into detail on some aspects, everything seems ready to make the announcement quickly.
ZANETTI ANNOUNCEMENT. We will need to be patient a little longer for Davide Nicola (51) to become official at Cagliari. The discussions between the Sardinians and Empoli to free the coach continue. Let us remember, the situations of two players such as Ardian Ismajli (27) and Sebastiano Luperto (27) were also examined in depth, but a final decision has not yet been made. This is because other paths could also be taken. Meanwhile, the Tuscans are divided between William Viali (49) and Gabriele Cioffi (48), with the former particularly appreciated by the new sporting director Roberto Gemmi. Speaking of coaches: Verona has announced the signing of Paolo Zanetti (41) for the next two years.
PRESSING GENOA. At Atalanta, after the redemption of Charles De Ketelaere (23) from Milan, the desire not to spend the 8.5 million euros for the purchase of the Swedish winger owned by Spezia, Emil Holm (24) was confirmed . Udinese, on the other hand, bought Lorenzo Lucca (23) from Pisa: 8 million euros to the Tuscans, while the attacker has signed a contract until 2028. Parma is aiming for a leading market. Thus, for a few days now, contacts have been underway for defender Japhet Tanganga (25), free after his experience at Tottenham. Meanwhile, the signing of Emanuele Valeri (25) was announced yesterday. The winger taken on a free transfer, fresh from his experience at Frosinone, has joined the Ducali until 2027. In Lecce, Pantaleo Corvino is determined to strengthen the team in all departments, but according to club policy he could also consider new offers arriving for Nikola Krstovic (24). The Montenegrin striker is always in the sights of Genoa, who are thinking of him as a possible replacement for Mateo Retegui (25). The Giallorossi bomber, let’s remember, is valued at around 12-15 million euros. Not just a goalscorer: Como continues to think about Alberto Dossena (25) who could leave Cagliari this season given an offer of around 7 million euros. Finally, the rossoblù club hopes to have Gianluca Gaetano (24) back, who has also ended up in Parma’s sights.
